If the 'name' is coming from a Form, try limiting it within the form

Better!? Nope. It may be a convenient *supplement*, so that people don't
need to unnecessarily type a string that the script immediately rejects,
but please note that people can submit to the script using e.g. their
own form, so if you want to *make sure* that longer strings are not
accepted, the maxlength attribute is not sufficient, and can *never*
replace a proper validation of the form data.
