    Hyphen is already included (twice), you can add the apostrophe by just editing it into the character class:

    /^[a-zA-Z-\-\ ']+$/
    

    You can rewrite it to look like this, so that there’s no need to escape the hyphen and it’s only included once:

    /^[a-zA-Z '-]+$/
    

    Example: http://jsfiddle.net/a4vGA/
