Councils often want to post updates on reports using their general contact email address in the 'name' field (example). Users also sometimes enter their email address as their name.
Two possible fixes.
Revert and allow email addresses again.
If disallowing them is intended behaviour (I'm fine with this!) the error message needs to be more helpful - it doesn't say what's actually wrong with the data that's been entered, which is causing confusion.

Email today from a user confused by the error message: they'd put just a first name, not a full name. In this case the message does actually make sense and describe what's wrong, but as it's new behaviour, it's not what regulars used to putting a single name are expecting - could be worth bolding 'full name'?
