[Year 12 SofDev] Tricky name validation

Tue Mar 29 12:47:03 AEDT 2016

Many site don't accept hyphenated names either as it's considered an invalid character, gets just a bit frustrating- especially if I drop the hyphen to get say an airline ticket, then have a passport that doesn't match the ticket.
