A targetname (also known simply as Name) is the name of an entity. A targetname is not required for an entity to exist, but generally must be present for an entity to be a target or killtarget of another entity.
To avoid issues, targetnames should not have any special characters, only ASCII letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.
