Should I use the built-in Full Text Search for peoples names?

I've read the guide (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/full-text-search) and it seems that it is better suited for actual words (you even have to specify the language).

Should I use the built-in Full Text Search for arbitrary strings, such as people names? If not, what should I use instead?
