Title: Fix for Apostrophes
Name: Dave B.

Comment:
A good effort on hyphenated names and suffixes. However, it fails on something as simple as O'Callahan. Also, doesn't seemt o work for the suffixes it claims it does. I made the following modifications for the apostrophe:
^[a-zA-Z']+((((\-)|(\s))[a-zA-Z']+)?(,?(\s)?(((j|J)|(s|S))(r|R)
(\.)?|II|III|IV))?)?$
