<U+.....> PERSONAL VANITY-1
would be a perfectly acceptable definition of a named sequence. While
there is a strong preference to build sequence names from combination of
character names, this is not an absolute requirement and could even be
considered inappropriate in some circumstances.
(I'm using <U+...> to stand in for the actual sequence definition
appropriate for each of the examples in this message).
A more likely version
<U+.....> LATIN LETTER CAPITAL S FOLLOWED BY LATIN LETTERS SMALL H R I R
A M N A
gives the game away but would even have correct casing for a proper name.
Here's one that's been long overdue in the standard.
<U+....> MARK D A V I S :) :) ;)
(incidentally, it would be equivalent to the more pithy <U+ ....> MARK
DAVIS as spaces are ignored in character names... )
