I think you just answered your own question here. It seems more likely
that "boy's" would need proper treatment than "de'errico" because the
name is more likely to already be properly capitalized when entered.
And with the current filters, as you point out, that proper
capitalization won't be altered. Hey, if someone types in their name
wrong, we shouldn't be expected to fix it, or even know how. 'Garbage
in, garbage out' (tm).
