Summary
This PR updates the
validate_nameregex to allow single-character names ({1,100}instead of{2,100}).Motivation
Currently, names must be at least 2 characters long.
However, in many languages and cultures (especially East Asian ones), valid given names or family names can be only one character (e.g. 王, 李, 玲, 昇).
Not allowing single-character names can prevent real users from registering properly.
Change
validate_nameregex:{2,100}→{1,100}Impact
Notes
This aligns with the project's past efforts (see PR #63) to support a wider variety of valid names worldwide.
