My apologies,

I "forgot" the quotes.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cd Desktop/stupid\ space/
[rocketmouse at archlinux stupid space]$ basename $PWD
stupid
[rocketmouse at archlinux stupid space]$ basename "$PWD"
stupid space
[rocketmouse at archlinux stupid space]$ basename $(pwd)
stupid
[rocketmouse at archlinux stupid space]$ basename "$(pwd)"
stupid space
