Stop words from breaking with CSS Hyphens Auto on

I have a website where I use the hyphens: auto function to break longer words. It all works fine, but at some places it breaks words which shouldn't be broken. For example names of team members. How can I still keep the hyphens function, but exclude some words from breaking? As it only happens on a very few words I could edit every word separately.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Since there is no code example I am assuming that I understood it correctly.

I think putting these words into a span which you style accordingly should do the trick.

<div>
    <p>
        very long paragraph which doesn't end Edgar <span>TestingnamesonIdont'tknowwhatcanmakethispossiblyanylongerthanthiswhichIamdoingrightnow.</span>
        very long paragraph which doesn't end Edgar <span>TestingnamesonIdont'tknowwhatcanmakethispossiblyanylongerthanthiswhichIamdoingrightnow.</span>
        very long paragraph which doesn't end Edgar <span>TestingnamesonIdont'tknowwhatcanmakethispossiblyanylongerthanthiswhichIamdoingrightnow.</span>

    </p>
</div>

p{
    overflow-wrap: break-word;
    word-wrap: break-word;


    -ms-hyphens: auto;
    -moz-hyphens: auto;
    -webkit-hyphens: auto;
    hyphens: auto;
}

p span{

    overflow-wrap: normal;
    word-wrap: normal;
    -ms-hyphens: none;
    -moz-hyphens: none;
    -webkit-hyphens: none;
    hyphens: none;
}

Hope this helped!
