I noticed this bug for the first time today on a computer that has the

See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname
for a start about host name definitions.
From this reference:
"The Internet standards (Requests for Comments) for protocols mandate
that component hostname labels may contain only the ASCII letters 'a'
through 'z' (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits '0' through '9',
and the hyphen ('-'). The original specification of hostnames in RFC
952, mandated that labels ** could not start** with a digit or with a hyphen,
and must not end with a hyphen."
Note that hyphen (a.k.a. dash) is permitted.
not as first letter
