What counts as an invalid name when renaming a character?

Trying to remake an existing toon, basing him on a character from the old Hercules TV show. Anyone know why I can't use the name 'Ares God of Love'? Or any variants of it (replacing letters with things like ø). Keeps saying it's an invalid name. Anyone know why?

    Probably the word "God," but it could also be "Love" or "Ares."
    I have a character named "Godkrieg," and that works. But it has no space. Ares is a real life Greek god, though he's the god of war, bloodlust, and courage. ZoS seems to dislike things that are about gods. Love might just be a word they don't want in names, either. I'd scrap it and rename.

    A list of words that are invalid for toon names would be useful. So people know straight up what can't be used.
