Error while reading source file name starts with a number in informatica

The source file name in my project starts with a number for example 20070908abcd.csv. Informatica is not allowing to read the source in the designer and displays the following message:

The first character in this name cannot be a number.

Could you please let me know how to handle as many source files are of this format?

The name of a source file can start with a digit and it will be processed correctly. However, the first character in the name of a source transformation cannot be a number.

When importing a file, enter a correct name (by default, file name is used) for the new source that will be created:
