You could do something like: translate(Input, " &/\*?<>:'.()[],", "")

Input being your Name field.

If those fields are based on an AD user. I'd use PreferredName as a choice using the GetUserProfile service. Also if you're going to use Name+Surname for a url - don't! Especially if you're worried about special characters. Use a form load rule to set a file name i.e. translate(now(),":-T","")
