Game names cannot start with a number.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to cocoslive.net
2. Click "Add a new game". Sign in if required.
3. Name your new game something beginning with a number (I used 
8TrackMind...the name of 
my upcoming app)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get an error page with the following text:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 503, in

from_path
    'Names may not begin with a digit; received %s.' % id_or_name)
BadArgumentError: Names may not begin with a digit; received 8TrackMind.

Please provide any additional information below.
If this is a limitation of the GAE, you should warn users in the FAQ, or at 
least in "Add a new 
game" page. Currently, an acceptable work around is to simply spell out the 
number, for 
example: EightTrackMind.
