screenshot of the error message

Open a new spreadsheet
Double clik in the sheet tab so as to edit its name
Delete the default Sheet1
Press OK

Issue: The error message does not include the case of Blank name. It only mentions no duplicate and not containing any of a set of symbols.

still repro in 6.3 alpha 0

May be just change message in warning dialogue to

"Invalid sheet name.
The sheet name must not be an empty or a duplicate of an existing name, 
and may not contain the characters [ ] * ? : / \ 
or the character ' (apostrophe) as first or last character."

Seriously?
I mean, explicitly mention that a sheet name can not be empty, isn't that a bit overdone? The same one could argue that when renaming a file the file name can't be empty..

Absolutely. This question is "I see error message, but text in it don't speak me about my case (empty name)". Therefore I offer just to add text of error.
