Oh, for pity's sake...  Working far too hard at a non-problem.

Fine, take the caption name, in any character combination the user
wants, and shovel it through an MD5 hash, stripping off the upper 8
characters as the intended name.  The likelihood of a resulting name
collision is so close to zero as to be ignorable.

I mean, really now.  Make a single, simple sanity check in the UI about
allowable character choices within that UI's allowable set, and this
problem evaporates.
