Error Messages and Arc Map Invalid Characters
A few other
invalid characters are shown here in addition to the space character. The Arc Map Link is http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/1010/joinvalidate.html

000354 : The name contains invalid characters
Description
Any
database may have naming restrictions for table and field names. For instance,
a table in a file geodatabase cannot include a space.
Solution
Alter
the name to remove any invalid characters. For instance, consider using an
underscore (_) in place of a space. Geoprocessing methods exist that allow you
to validate table and field names. Consider using either the ValidateTableName or ValidateFieldName function to ensure your name is valid. Learn more about validating table and field names.
·
Any field
names start with an invalid character (`~@#$%^&*()-+=|\\,<>?/{}.!'[]:;_0123456789)
·
Any field
names contain an invalid character (`~@#$%^&*()-+=|\\,<>?/{}.!'[]:;)
·
Any field
names match reserved words based on the underlying DBMS (For example, in
Microsoft SQL Server, COMMIT and ROLLBACK are reserved words.)
·
There are
nongeodatabase Microsoft Access tables
If these
problems are present in the tables to be joined, ArcMap can display null values
in attribute tables or report misleading selection or record counts. Validate
Join analysis checks for invalid characters when analyzing coverage data but
excludes these character symbols: the number sign (#), the dollar sign ($), and
the hyphen (-). It also excludes the period (.) when checking for invalid
characters for ArcSDE software-connected data. However, it will report the
presence of these characters as well as the number of matching records for the
join.
