What formal rules are there around place names in Words with Friends?

So I was playing Words with Friends for iOS, and I thought I was cleverly using up my "Q" without a "U" by playing "Qatar". However my word was rejected.

Are there any place names, such as landmarks, cities, countries etc that are allowed in Words with Friends?

All names starting with capital letter are forbidden. Places, cities, countries, rivers, but also first and last names,

Words with friends will let you play Amin as in Idi Amin. It is only used as a name and the WWF definition actually refers to the man himself with his dates in power, etc.
