No it can't.

The relevant part from the XML specification is

http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-Name

[4]    NameChar    ::=    Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | ':' | CombiningChar | Extender
[5]    Name    ::=    (Letter | '_' | ':') (NameChar)*

Another point worth noting is that a name must start with a letter, '_'  or  ':' but not with a number.
