Looking for regex that validates a name.

Valid name:

Not valid names are:

I am very close to a correct regex:

^[^\W\d_]+(?:[-\s][^\W\d_]+)*?$

I am using python!

Should there be 2 or more chars? `^[^\W\d_]{2,}(?:[-\s][^\W\d_]{2,})*?$` https://regex101.com/r/i6JaWX/1 – The fourth bird May 29 '20 at 14:17
Can you make an example please? Maybe there is sth, I didn't think of – PParker May 29 '20 at 14:41
@regex101: Yes, more then 2 chars! Your expression looks very good. Thanks a lot! – PParker May 29 '20 at 14:42
@Thefourthbird, that's worthy a post. @PParker, do you mind using `regex` module and switching from a negated character class to matching any kind of letter from any language? If not then: `^\p{L}{2,}(?:[- ]\p{L}{2,})*?$` – JvdV May 29 '20 at 15:01
