Description |
This pattern allow a first and last name to be tested to ensure that each name begins with a capital letter and is separated by just one space. The pattern also ensures that only one hyphen can be placed in either the first or last name and the succeeding character must be capitalized. If an apostrophe is used in the last name it too must be succeeded by a capital letter.
