[R] Column names containing ` in R

Hi,

My data has column names which has ` character. For example , 
*> names(dataframe)
[1] "`region"    "farmsize`"  "farmincome" "maincrop"   "claimvalue"*

If i use these objects in my function, the following error is thrown.

*lmm<-lm(``region`~farmincome)
Error: attempt to use zero-length variable name*

Is there a way, say an escape sequence or something similar in which we can
give these objects with the colnames to R functions?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Raji
