I am trying to write a database independent name capitalization routine.
In what language? Java?
  public static String initCap(String s)

return (s == null || s.length() == 0) ? s :
   s.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + s.substring(1);

If you are doing proper names, it's a lot harder than that. Some issues with
names are:

The Mac names

McNeil, McKendry, and the other variants that are Mac.

Names that contain an apostrophe

O'Hara, O'Neil

Then you have Generational qualifiers,

III, IV, V
