Would be great if you could include check for minimum characters. For example, if my input string is just a single letter, say, C. Then, the regex fails.

I noticed it doesn't work with suffixes like

John Doe III
That would be a great addition.

The characters "ÅÄÖåäö" are quite common in scandinavian names, so if you don't want to filter out all your scandinavian clients you might want to add them
