What version of MySQL do you use? Forked fine for me:
mysql> create table t1 (`id #` int(11), `First Name`
-> varchar(20) );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> show create table t1\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Table: t1
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t1` (
`id #` int(11) default NULL,
`First Name` varchar(20) default NULL
) TYPE=MyISAM
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
