Sometimes it is still hard to distinguish 1, l, |, I   etc. Is it possible to have the format like

JOHN-DEAN-3J4S
or
FLOWERS-563KT

Checksum will help a lot.
+5% for checksum

checkout recent NXT development .. they are now using Reed-Solomon encoded addresses ... this allowes to *correct* errors!!

Considering the name looks up the key it could simply be:   ${name}-${KEY[0...4]}
+5%

The GUI will have an autocomplete, if there are multiple names with close spelling then you will see them all as you type and this will help you be sure you are picking the right one. You can also locally label names with your own alias if you are very concerned.
Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

name is good.
but I am worry about one thing.
You must be very carefully, don't write a wrong alpha, or you maybe send money to a wrong guy.
For bank service, you must write both the account and the name correct.
agreed that, more detail about the name system?

ASCII alphanumeric (convert to lowercase) and hyphens, but can't start or end with hyphen.

With names being used are there going to be any character limitations like symbols and punctuations?

They will be restricted to valid domain names.

We have figured out how to simplify the wallet down dramatically now that we have *named accounts*.   

Users will never have to see an address again unless they want to use 'advanced' mode.

That's seriously great.  I think forcing users to work with long addresses is a huge barrier to adoption and eliminating that seems like a massive step forward as Bitcoin itself hasn't gotten there yet for the most part.  Looking forward to seeing how the naming system will work out in practice.
