--- Comment #3 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

(Buovjaga, our edit clashed, but I'm still adding my findings.)

I can't reproduce with:

Version: 7.5.7.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 47eb0cf7efbacdee9b19ae25d6752381ede23126
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I can name a user variable "1.whatever" or "0.something" without issue.
However, I can't use a comma in the same way, just like Leroy describes.
Pressing comma deletes the whole name.
Same if the name starts with a letter, except pressing comma does not remove
the letters.

Same thing in OOo 3.3, LO 7.4.7.2 and a recent master build:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 2902ab24ecc5ffbf4907ea83b2028508b9de6364
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Decimal separator is the dot for that en-AU locale, but switching to fr-FR
locale inside has same result, and switching to fr_FR system locale has same
result too.

In fact, even with a similar language/locale combination, I don't see it as you
see it:
Locale: es-MX (it_IT); UI: en-US

No mention of restrictions in naming in the help page:
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/01/04090005.html

Nicholas, can you please reset your user profile to see if it helps?

Mike, copying you in as you seem to know a bit of history about it.
