## Solution
Starting from R80, there are no limitation for naming of Check Point network objects.
* You can start the object's name with digits:
* You can use non-English characters:
* You can use spaces and basically any character you like:
Note that the gateways of any version still require English alphanumeric names that must start with letters. During policy installation, any names which cannot be accepted by the gateways are converted to random gateway-accepted names, usually start with "v" followed by a GUID.
R80.x Log servers can translate the gateway-compatible names to the original names given by the user.
The only exception is user objects, because these object names actually represent the user identifier by the identity server. Therefore we kept the limitations as enforced by identity servers.
