Defining A Default For A Validated HTML String That Has A Specific Format

Basically I am trying to force a name input format as follows:
Last Name, First Name MI (if applicable)
So here is my defined Regular Expression:
[A-Z]{1,20}[,][ ][A-Z]{1,20}[ ]{0,1}[A-Z]{0,2}[.]{0,1}
I know its crazy long but I want to force the "," and " " between the first and last names, but allow the person not to enter a middle initial if they do not have one. If they do enter a middle initial then there needs to be a space after the "first name" and then 1 or 2 characters followed by a ".".
Here's my dilemma: I am trying to use a "Default Value" of "Not, defined". Which is a valid entry. It follows the format above in the Regular Expression and passes the test, but I get an error in the screen when it displays the default value. Does "Default Value" put something in the HTML string that I cannot see and therefore it fails??

May 26 '15, 10:28 p.m.Ok, so I take this back. I just tested this Regular Expression in RTC Client and it worked. I incorporate it on one of my Attributes and when I enter a name "Last, First", which is the correct format, I still get the pop-up error that this is the wrong format. Is my Regular Expression no good? It works when I test it, but not when I assigned it to an actual attribute (HTML Medium String)
