   Regarding the naming rule, please use the catalog designation (but without
a space, use "_" if necessary).  In this case

1RXP_J113123+4322.5

   is the regular name for VSNET observations.

   Although we don't encourage any use of abbreviations, we can handle
simple "aliases" of regular names, though we have to register these
aliases to the conversion table manually.

   In all possible cases, please use non-abbreviated names.
