Easy sql script question

Question

I am trying to write a script that creates certain tables, indexes, and sequences. The user is prompted for some information and this is concatenated to form the names for the tables, indexes, and sequences. I am running into problems with the following...
accept x prompt 'Input 1:'
accept y prompt 'Input 2:'
create sequence 'A'||'&x'||'&y' START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 NOMAXVALUE NOCYCLE CACHE 20 ORDER;
For example, the user enters apple and orange for x and y respectively. I receive the following error...
CREATE SEQUENCE 'A'||'apple'||'orange' START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 NOMAXVALUE NOCYCLE CACHE 20 ORDER;
invalid sequence name
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks in advance,
Kirby
