PR description

What is it doing?

All people who cannot currently put their proper names into ESU.
This change will relax the name regex to look for 'Letters' as defined by Unicode, rather than strictly A-Z only, which will allow characters with diacritics like those above. Also, it will allow names with apostrophes and hyphens, like J-Train and D'Snazzle.

Why is this required?

We have been adopting a similar approach elsewhere, like with FSU, so this brings some consistency.
