Restrictions on field names

Field names cannot contain the null character.

Top-level field names cannot start with the dollar sign ($) character.

Otherwise, starting in MongoDB 3.6, the server permits storage of field names that contain dots (i.e. .) and dollar signs (i.e. $).

Rather, you can store two fields. One for URI and another for name.
