Is it "acceptable" for a sub domain to be hyphenated?

I am putting together a site for a portal. Some of the subdomains have rather long names and I am thinking that maybe I should use hyphens to make the subdomain names more readable.

For instance:

alternative-medicine.mysite.com

instead of alternativemedice.mysite.com

However, I can't recall ever seing a hyphenated subdomain - is this because it is generally frowned upon - or are there technical (SEO) reasons why this appears to be the case?

In short, will hyphenating my subdomains have a negative impart on SEO?
