You can have spaces but you have to escape them:
Morrowind\ Menu\ Theme
Cf. (info "(elisp) Symbol Type"):
A symbol name can contain any characters whatever. Most symbol names
are written with letters, digits, and the punctuation characters
‘-+=*/’. Such names require no special punctuation; the characters of
the name suffice as long as the name does not look like a number. (If
it does, write a ‘\’ at the beginning of the name to force
interpretation as a symbol.) The characters ‘_~!@$%^&:<>{}?’ are less
often used but also require no special punctuation. Any other
characters may be included in a symbol’s name by escaping them with a
backslash.
