Yes the double quotes worked. I tried single quotes but since that didn't work I just assumed that double quotes would not work either.

It probably doesn't matter since there is nothing in the database. I don't remember how I created the database. It appears that postgresql does not like a dash in the database name. I have not tried to create a table under the database. When I try to drop the database I get the following..
date_time=# DROP DATABASE test-aria;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "-"
LINE 1: DROP DATABASE test-aria;
DROP DATABASE "test-aria";
