I worked perfect. It only agrege the symbol "+" array ('attribute', 'match', 'pattern' => '/ ^ [a-zA-Z] + $ /'), – josterricardo Oct 03 '14 at 15:28
If you want to enter such spaces to place both names, so you can use it: array('nombres, apellidos', 'match', 'pattern'=>'/^[a-zA-Z[:space:]]+$/'), – josterricardo Oct 08 '14 at 20:09
