Monitors - can they start with integers? F5 limitation?

Hello guys we are big into following naming conventions so we kind of create every object for a VIP using the url. My question is can we create a monitor starting with an integer? I am not able to - it errors out with "Requested object name is invalid" monitor I was trying to create was a http with name - "4change.metooguys.com" (I just made up the domain name..lol) I guess I can represent the number 4 with roman IV but was just curious to see if this was indeed a F5 limitation and how did others get past this.

    As a general rule, object names cannot start with a number. However, some special characters like underscores can be used, so you could possible do something like this:

    _4change.metooguys.com
