Follow what libdbus does. It is the reference implementation, after all:

    ldo@theon:~> python3 -ic "import dbussy"
    >>> dbussy.validate_bus_name("a.b")
    True
    >>> dbussy.validate_bus_name("a")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/home/ldo/projects/dbussy/dbussy.py", line 5826, in validate_bus_name
        my_error.raise_if_set()
      File "/home/ldo/projects/dbussy/dbussy.py", line 5035, in raise_if_set
        raise DBusError(self.name, self.message)
    dbussy.DBusError: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs -- Bus name was not valid: 'a'
