Constraint Naming in Oracle

Can Oracle table integrity constraints have the same name for different tables in the same schema?

I am in the processes of writing a DDL generation tool for Oracle and the SQL Reference manual section on namespaces is vague on this point. I would like to use a naming convention of CHECK_attribute_name for all my check constraints, but am not sure whether this is allowed and even more important, is it legal?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
