Input mask which allows for apostrophes

Can someone please advise me as to what parameters to use for an input mask
which will take account of apostrophes eg O’Brian, O’Sullivan etc. I have
tried multiple versions of the input mask on the table, but find that if I
get it correct for this type of entry it is incorrect for those such as
Finch, Brown etc.

Can anyone help?!?!.

Thanks in advance.

Input masks are pretty much useless. If you tell us what you want to
prevent and allow, someone will probably have a better solution.
 
An input mask would typically be for things like numbers of a specific format
(such as social security numbers). I have to wonder why you would want an
input mask for a name. What problem exactly are you trying to solve?

All an Input Mask does is constrain what characters the user can type.
I'm not sure that *any* input mask is either necessary or appropriate
for people's names! Why do you feel that one is needed?
