SQL Error [4856]:[Vertica][VJDBC](4856) ERROR: Syntax error at or near "#"

I am trying to make an exact DDL copy of a table from Oracle to Vertica. In Oracle schema I have a table  with the following DDL
create table TEST
(
id int,
name# varchar2(100),
city varchar2(100));

The Equivalent Vertica DDL is
create table TEST
(
id int,
name# varchar(100),
city varchar(100));

But when i create the table in Vertica, I get the following error message.
Error:SQL Error [4856] [HY000]: [Vertica][VJDBC](4856) ERROR: Syntax error at or near "#"
I do not see in SQLRefManual anything about column name constraints.
I cannot make changes to Column name as there will be conflict in mapping in ETL.
What can be the solution??
