 * Hi all,
 * I want to validate that first and last name only includes letters and nothing
   other (e.g. “-.?”).
    I tried english letters only, aplhanumeric and alphabet 
   validation. Did not work. I could still register with all different kinds of 
   symbols in the field.
 * How can I only allow letters?
 * Thank you.
