That might not be correct, especially for Asian lastnames/etc... oh, minimum
of 2, but you get my meaning... what if you will want to support a middle
initial? :)
End of the day, I wouldn't try to validate too much. Just protect your site
more from a security perspective. Effectively, for all non-text area input,
I don't allow whitespace except for a regular horizontal space. And for
text-areas, well, it all depends :)
