Error Code 1064. Its says my db name is incorrect

It says my db name is incorrect syntax however this db name was generated through my web hosting provider. I have successfully connected to the db and can see the db in my workbench with the table. However when writing the grant statement it says I cannot have the minus operator within the db name. However as mentioned before my db name is automatically generated and I cannot create a database for some reason within php my admin. Here is the code I have wrote for the read access so far;

GRANT SELECT 
ON cl54-tommyt12.* #doesn't allow me to use this?
to user1@'%' #in my actual code I have changed this wildcard and the password fill in below
identified by 'password'
