Allow the name in Home Assistant for the device to contain spaces and be separate from the bluetooth alias and mqtt topic.
In Tasmota this is known as the friendly_name and it is separate and can be set independently. As far as I can tell there is currently no way to have a space in the name presented to Home Assistant other than to edit it in home assistant after the fact.
Some ideas:
use string_replace on alias and replace spaces. Then use the replacement for mqtt topic and bluetooth alias while using original alias as Name for discovery etc.
Add a new attribute called friendly_name to allow the setting of the home assistant name independently of the topic and bluetooth alias.
