There have been lots of good suggestion. I put on the plate "detox":

Its purpose is eliminating from filenames charachters that make them
difficult to work with, so it's also good for files *beginning* with a
space, esoteric utf8 characters, escape codes, parentheses and
whatever. It's kind of overkill for this, but it deserves to be
mentioned :-)
