Shout out to City of #Toronto 311 request submission form, which when asking for contact information recognizes that people might have a single name, but does not recognize that names can contain characters outside ASCII
And implies they're not "alphanumeric"
You can 100% have a legal name registered with Ontario and Canadian governments that fails this form
Enbridge:
- gets subsidies from the government to expand fossil-fuelled status quo and set forests on fire
- greenwashes
- can't validate names on their website

#yournameisinvalid (well, valid, but not unique!)
Time for a short #introduction:
This is the https://twitter.com/yournameisvalid (”in-“ removed due to 🐦 username length limit) account that retweets screenshots of failed forms rejecting/breaking names of people. Some content can be found with full text search, some is reported by followers (thanks!).
“If you have a family name with non-letter characters in it (in my case, the hyphen in Prior-Jones), you will get this cryptic error message if you book with @UKEnterprise Car Hire. It turns out that renaming myself PriorJones solves the problem. This is bad.”

Names of people cannot be invalid. Even if they contain “l·l”.
Your voice can change an online form validation?
