I think you can either use a validation rule or trigger for trigger you can try the below snippet:
trigger objTri on object__c(before update) { if(trigger.isbefore && trigger.isupdate) { for(Object__C temp: trigger.new) { //dr/DR/dR/MR/mr/Mr or Test or Clinic or Dummy or any special character or space or numeric input if(temp.firstname.containsIgnoreCase('dr')|| temp.firstname.containsIgnoreCase('mr') || temp.firstname.containsIgnoreCase('Test') || temp.firstname.containsIgnoreCase('clinic') || temp.firstname.containsIgnoreCase('dummy') || temp.firstname.containsAny('1234567890!@#$%^&*()')) {temp.adderror('can not add Dr/Mr or Test or Clinic or Dummy or any special characer or space or numeric input as prefix or suffix');} } } }Please do note that I have added only for the first name you will have to add the conditions for middle and last name as well as per the scenario you are implementing.
Let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.
Thanks.
You can provide the valdition on input field and check the value onkeypress or onchange event if the value matches with your validation rule than that must be enter otherwise they provide some error.
