Username form confirmation message

I have a form validation message for a username field that says the following

The name can only contain alphabets, '.' and '' symbols

OR should it be

The name can only contain alphabets, dots and spaces

OR should it be

The name can only contain alphabets, periods (".") And space characters ("")

Which is preferable in terms of usability, assuming end users have less exposure to computers.

  • Use letters "alphabet", not "alphabets"
  • not "symbols" ''. '' or ("."), why not just display the symbol, for example, for a different background.

So something like:



The name can only contain letters of the alphabet, .

and spaces

Suggestion: include examples.



Name can only contain letters, dots or spaces. 
E.g. <i>Yoda</i>, <i>Han.Solo</i> or <i>Darth Vader</i> ...

The name must contain the alphabet (A to Z or a to z), period (.), Space and apostrophe: (')

A certain amount of time is allowed in the "Name" field (in case of an exception).

A maximum of 100 characters are allowed in the "Full Name" field (Firstname = 50 and Lastname = 50)
