My issue is that the instance_name and the HFS both reference the name and not the label.  Because you can't have spaces I can't include someone's name in a instance_name without it appearing ugly (i.e. Joe_Brown).  This is the same when I bring in a HFS in arcmap.  It  does not bring in the coded domain labels, only the names. Arcmap is not as big of a deal.  
What is the work around, I cant have a user enter his first and last in separate fields.
Also, date cant be used in instance_name either.
Thanks for all your hard work up to this point!  It's greatly appreciated!
