Description
Although a user should be more responsible when naming columns on pgadmin4 GUI.
It would be nice to have automatic front and back whitespace trimming when creating column names.
as these column names are created but then show errors when trying to query.
In addition, having auto-concatenation of multiple-worded column names eg (in snake case: first_name) followed by a notification would be great for preemption.
Observed on pgadmin4 GUI version 6.19.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the pgAdmin 4 GUI flow for creating column names and reproduce the behavior described for version 6.19. Done means defining the expected handling for leading and trailing whitespace, evaluating multi-word name concatenation with notification, and covering the resulting behavior with tests.
