Yes, quote the names...

  brent=# create table "A1" ( "SteakSauce" int );
  CREATE
  brent=# \d "A1"
             Table "A1"
   Attribute  |  Type   | Modifier
  ------------+---------+----------
   SteakSauce | integer |

Be aware that if you choose to use mixed case names, you must
/always/ quote them, which introduces just enough room for human
error that I'd not recommend using quoted names.

  brent=# INSERT INTO A1 VALUES (1);
  ERROR:  Relation 'a1' does not exist
  brent=# INSERT INTO "A1" VALUES (1);
  INSERT 100155 1
  brent=# SELECT * FROM A1;
  ERROR:  Relation 'a1' does not exist
  brent=# SELECT * FROM "A1";
   SteakSauce
  ------------
            1
  (1 row)


cheers.
