Name Validator

The name validator verifies name information when collecting data and detects records that make no sense.
  • Is the gender correct?
  • Are the first and last names swapped?
  • Does a particular name sound improbable or unlikely to be real?
The following data can be validated:
  • Name
  • Gender
  • Address
  • Phone numbers
  • Email address
  • IP address / origin
Predefined actions can be taken when a name crosses the allowed tolerance line:
  • Temporary acceptance
  • Manual reviewing required
  • Refusal

Live Check

This example uses remote scripting (asynchronous javascript aka AJAX) to validate the user-input. The user is alerted about possible mistakes immediately.
Select "Mrs." and type in a male first name, or type in "Smith" as first name and "Daniela" as family name.
The checker is triggered once the user leaves an input field.

  • Run over existing customer-data to find both real and potential problems.

DID YOU KNOW?
"Müller" and "Mueller" is exactly the same name. This is true for all German names. In Germany many names are spelled with an "umlaut". In other languages using the Latin alphabet, the ü translates to ue. When transcriptions are poorly done, the name might appear as Muller, but this name could also refer to someone else.
