Named range beginning with "r1" invalid

Hi all!
I tried to name a range with “r1block”.
For some unknown reason this wasn’t accepted.
I know that names must not start with a digit.
Is this my fault or is it a bug?

AI almost get it, except still unclear about Calc existing apart from Xel :face_with_thermometer:

In Excel, the name R1Block is also invalid, although the documentation does not indicate this.

@sokol92 AI is an awful attempt to commercialize something that is in reality no more than (very useful in itself) research project. Without that commercializing, it would never get as much resources as it needs; but people got something so pervert that they don’t realize that. Of course, it’s very characteristic, that we discuss it here under the gem from AI, which tells:

In your case, “r1block” starts with “1”

It is incredible, how computers’ role changed, from something that we could safely say: “if the result is wrong, it’s a human error” - be it user’s, or programmer’s - but we were sure, that the silicon did its job exactly as instructed - into something which is known to hallucinate, and using which, the crucial factor is if you are able to tell that straightforward bullshit from some more cunningly disguised lie. The effect of such a system for us contemporary users is actually devastating - the only real benefit here is for the research project itself, that we all are glad to participate (and pay money!) for being test subjects in something that one day may become really useful.
