Difficulty loading .rdata file because of name

I'm trying to load an .rdata file into R, but facing difficulty. The problem is with the original name of the .rdata file. It has the character '-' in it, which R reads as a minus sign, which means I cannot save the data and work with it. Code and error below.

load("/Users/hemingway1/Desktop/WVS3.rdata")
ls()
#  [1] "a"                       "a1"                      "b"                      
#  [4] "b1"                      "estBetaParams"           "model"                  
#  [7] "model_string"            "mu"                      "n"                      
# [10] "samp"                    "theta"                   "var"                    
# [13] "WV3_Data_R_v_2015-04-18" "WVS3"                    "y"    

WVS3 <- WV3_Data_R_v_2015-04-18

Error: object 'WV3_Data_R_v_2015' not found

The use of backticks is generally the solution to solve this kind of problem. Here, the solution would be:

WVS3 <- `WV3_Data_R_v_2015-04-18`
