Hi there, what would you suggest for the regexes?

That's not the right question to ask. That's like responding to someone saying I don't think granite is the right material to make lifesavers from with what kind of stone would you suggest?

For email validation, I would not use a regexp. RFC(2)822 is authorative. I'd use a module that follows the specs from the RFC.

As for names, I don't think there's a standard. But if you're going to accept digits in names, I would want accented letters and ' as well.
