use Naming\Validator;
use Laminas\Form\Element\Text;
use Laminas\Form\Form;
use Laminas\InputFilter\InputFilterProviderInterface;

class ContactForm extends Form implements InputFilterProviderInterface
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->add([
            'type' => Text::class,
            'name' => 'fullname',
            'options' => [
                'label' => 'Full name',
            ],
        ]);
    }

    public function getInputFilterSpecification()
    {
        return [
            [
                'name'     => 'fullname',
                'required' => true,
                'filters' => [
                    [
                        'name' => Filter\Naming::class
                    ],
                ],
                'validators' => [
                    [
                        'name' => Validator\Naming::class,
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ];
    }
}

Using standalone:

use Naming\Filter;
use Naming\Validator;

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

// ... VALID
$filtered = (new Filter\Naming())->filter('Abdul malik ikhsan');
$validator = new Validator\Naming();

echo $filtered; // Abdul Malik Ikhsan
var_dump($validator->isValid($filtered)); // true

// ... INVALID
$filtered = (new Filter\Naming())->filter('Abdul....');
$validator = new Validator\Naming();

echo $filtered; // Abdul....
var_dump($validator->isValid($filtered)); // false
var_dump(\current($validator->getMessages())); /* "Consecutive "."s are not allowed" */
