I have no idea how much more expensive is the regex engine.
It also makes the code harder to read.
I would totally be in favor of a variadic hasAnyName(). It is shorter and can be much faster to run.

I think, it should at least mention what method (and maybe of what class) is in question, e.g. "std::string::find() called with a string literal consisting of a single character; consider using the more effective overload accepting a character".
Used unqualified function name instead.
The qualified name for find is std::basic_string<blah, blah, blah>::find, which might be distracting.
