Cannot create new app in current folder

See original GitHub issue

Hello guys I have the following problem.

OS: Linux Mint 18 node ver. : 7.9.0 npm ver. : 4.2.0

Installed create-react-app as global package npm install -g create-react-app.

Calling create-react-app . results in the following error:

 Could not create a project called "ReactJS" because of npm naming restrictions:
  *  name can no longer contain capital letters

Calling create-react-app reactjs works just fine.
