Suggested way to encode a DB field name to an XML tag

Let's say I have a database table with the following fields:

• Age
• First Name
• Last Name

Is there a suggested way on how to translate DB field names into XML tag names?

[4]       NameStartChar      ::=      ":" | [A-Z] | "_" | [a-z] | [#xC0-#xD6] | [#xD8-#xF6] | [#xF8-#x2FF] | [#x370-#x37D] | [#x37F-#x1FFF] | [#x200C-#x200D] | [#x2070-#x218F] | [#x2C00-#x2FEF] | [#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xFDCF] | [#xFDF0-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#xEFFFF] \
[4a]      NameChar       ::=      NameStartChar | "-" | "." | [0-9] | #xB7 | [#x0300-#x036F] | [#x203F-#x2040]```

I believe most DB sources have similar restrictions as XML does, though a space is usually allowed. Perhaps the easiest way would be:

<Table Name="Person">
    <Row>
        <Field name="Age">...</Field>
        <Field name="First Name">...</Field>
        <Field name="Last Name">...</Field>
    </Row>
</Table>

But I think that makes a mess out of things, and turns a semi-intuitive XML document into nothing more than an 'escape doc'. Are there any suggested guidelines on how to do this transform/conversion? The idea that comes to mind for me (although not the 'safest') would be to slugify it according to the XML char spec:

<Persons> <!-- pluralize? -->
    <Person>
        <Age>...</Age>
        <FirstName>...</FirstName>
        <LastName>...</LastName>
    </Person>
</Persons>

I suppose that works ok for asci-names.
