Hey all,

Is anyone aware of some code/rules on how to capitalize the names of people correctly?

John Smith
Johan van Rensburg
Derrick von Gogh
Ruby de La Fuente
Peter Maclaurin
Garry McDonald

(these may not be correct, just some sample names and how the capitalization could be/work)

This seems like a losing battle...

If anyone has some code or rules on when and how to capitalize names, let me know :)

Cheers, Albert
