Following are some checking we are doing. 

Basic checking like blanks not allowed
We have name1 name2 fields
Do not accept special characters such as .,@!/:;"+-_? Etc...
Check for special names such as tintin, test, etc....
We have special database which has black listed names (given by central bank) and we are checking in that also

Hi

What kind of controls are people on the list using to limit what your users can enter as a client's name ?

And how are you doing it?


Thanks
