a name such as Ezekiel Johnson would be fine as is and returns { title: '', first: 'Ezekiel', middle: '', last: 'Johnson', nick: '', suffix: '', error: [] }

but Ezekiel Johnsonwith a blank space at the end results in

{ title: '', first: 'Ezekiel', middle: 'Johnson', last: '', nick: '', suffix: '', error: [] }

To fix temporarily you can just do nameStr.trim() before you put it into the function

GregZoeller commented 6 years ago

.replace(/\s\s+/g, ' ').trim()
