I'm already using elif not re.match("^[a-z]*$", first_name), but every time I enter a capital letter for the name, it returns the message I use if they are using anything other than a letter in the alphabet. Thank You in advance for any help you can give.

2Just a check, can't you simplify this approach by lowering the case of the word? Or by making it go upper? Maybe it's a more simple solution – Alexander Santos Dec 05 '19 at 16:07

Could you share the code in question? – Aquarthur Dec 05 '19 at 16:07

1If you want to use both uppercase and lowercase, you should change the regex to `re.match("^[a-zA-Z]*$", first_name)` – pecey Dec 05 '19 at 16:10

to check if the first char of a string `s` is uppercase, just use `s[0].isupper()`. – FObersteiner Dec 05 '19 at 16:10

Thank you @pecey that helped a lot. I will check to see if I can use everyone else's suggestions to help simplify the code I already have. – Mark Nova Dec 05 '19 at 16:26

For lower case:
s1 = input().lower()
and for upper case:
s1 = input().upper()
This should just work fine. All it is doing is converting the input to either upper or lower case as specified.
Hope this helps :)
