You can override the whole class or use plugin to override the function only. I would prefer plugin.

1. To override the class, in your etc/di.xml add this:

   <preference for="Magento\Customer\Model\Validator\Name" type="Vendor\Module\Model\Validator\Name" />

Now your Vendor\Module\Model\Validator\Name class:

<?php 
namespace Vendor\Module\Model\Validator;
class Name extends \Magento\Customer\Model\Validator\Name
{
  //your code
}
