Change error message in name field of sign-up form

[krosemichael]

Feature Description

If a user who is signing up for a Manifold account enters in a name with a lowercase first letter, they get an error message that reads, "first name can't be blank." It would be helpful if the error message also said that first name must start with an upper case letter, or it would be great if the field could accept names that begin with a lower case letter.

Why is this feature important? Who does it help?

Users can become frustrated if they are entering in a name in the name field, and the error message does not recognize it and does not explain what needs to be done to enter in a name successfully

User Stories

I am a professor who is using Manifold for group annotation; several students were frustrated when signing up for Manifold accounts because they couldn't figure out why the new user form was not recognizing their name inputs. It would be helpful if the error field explained that their name must start with an upper-case letter.

Design Notes

Error message could read: First name can't be left blank and must begin with an upper-case letter.
