Issue creating Document Library with some names in SharePoint 2010

When trying to create a document library with name "HSE": I am getting the following error: I don't create a site. I create document library.

Here's the PowerShell script sample: $siteurl = "http://siteurl" $ctname = "BaseDocument" $libname = "Shared Documents" $site = Get-SPSite $siteurl $web = $site.OpenWeb() $list = $web.Lists[$libname] $ct = $list.ContentTypes[$ctname] $ct.ReadOnly = $false $ct
