El siguiente paso es ver lo que dice la documentacion:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/sql-syntax.html

SQL identifiers and key words must begin with a letter (a-z, but also
letters with diacritical marks and non-Latin letters) or an underscore
(_). Subsequent characters in an identifier or key word can be letters,
underscores, digits (0-9), or dollar signs ($). Note that dollar
signs are not allowed in identifiers according to the letter of the
SQL standard, so their use may render applications less portable. The
SQL standard will not define a key word that contains digits or starts
or ends with an underscore, so identifiers of this form are safe
against possible conflict with future extensions of the standard.
