Client name requirements are too restrictive
Currently client name requirements are too restrictive as they only allow for alphanumeric characters and spaces. This means that some common name formats, especially in Singapore, will not be accepted.
For instance, 's/o' or 'd/o' are common for names of Singaporeans who are Indian. However, the application doesnt accept this as a valid name
Steps to reproduce:
- add --name=Theodore Koo s/o Charles --phone=98001715 --email=theodore@example.com --addr=Prince Street, Block 144, #19-14 --tags=Disabled --note=Lactose Intolerant
Resultant output:
[original: nus-cs2103-AY2324S2/pe-interim#1801] [original labels: severity.Medium type.FeatureFlaw]
[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
There is a work-around which is to save the full name in the notes.
Another work-around is to say "son of" or "daughter of" instead of "s/o" or "d/o".
This enhancement is of lower priority than what we had planned for in V1.4 as it would've altered the behavior of the application during the feature freeze period.

Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Certain legitimate names do involve the usage of non alphanumerical characters (e.g. A s/o B). It's not possible to add such users to your address book!
