Capitalization of Person names in programming
capitalization, rules
Solution
The only sensible way to handle it, in my opinion, is to let the users tell you how their name should be capitalized. Any automatic scheme is going to annoy someone.
Problem
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.
