What was the original name and what is the name you're trying to use?

And can you hit escape to just abort the change?

Some names are not legal under newer versions of excel--History is my favorite
example. It used to be legal, then xl97 (IIRC) said that only excel can use
that name.

save it back to the previous name it comes up with same message and will not
let me quit Excel.
