I am using Spacy and trying to detect names in the text. For example, text = 'Keras is a good package. Adam Smith uses a car of black colour. I hope Katrina is doing well in her job.'

The answer should like this: Adam Smith and Katrina.

Can anyone recommend

This is a typical Named Entity Recognition problem. Spacy has a pre-trained model to enable this, which should be accurate to detect person names.

Take a look at this code sample.

According to Spacy's annotation scheme, names are marked as PERSON.
