what about :

[hannu@taru hannu]$ createdb this.is.legal.database.name
CREATE DATABASE
[hannu@taru hannu]$ psql this.is.legal.database.name
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms      \h for help with SQL commands      \? for help on internal slash commands
    \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query      \q to quit
 

this.is.legal.database.name=#
