Online tittel tilfelle Converter

I am hoping to import names from a data source into which people are inconsistent with the Case of the names:

• JOHN BROWN
• Kathy V Simmons
• juan velasquez

My first approach was using title()

name_object = {      "first_name": row['First Name'].title(),      "last_name": row['Last Name'].title(),      "mi": row['MI'].title()    }

But of course (and my Irish ancestors are rolling in their graves) this breaks names like McKinley, DeSantis, etc...

In this post someone has rolled their own version of title() using capitalize(), but it seems like disambiguating between names that begin with a "prefix" like "de" or "Di" and one's which just start with those letters (Diaz) is going to make less sense than really encouraging people to use a consistent approach in the initial data entry.

Is there a relatively simple automated approach I'm not thinking of?

I am working on a Spring MVC application that uses Thymeleaf as template engine and I am trying to capitalize some string showed into my page. On my page I have something like this:

<li class="com__nav-item" th:each="menuItem : ${#authentication.principal.listaFunzioniUtente}">    <a href="" class="com__nav-link centered">        <span class="blue-line animate scaleIn delay-3" style="font-size: 1.4em; text-align: center;" th:text="${#strings.capitalize(menuItem.desFnz)}"></span>        <span class="white-circle animate scaleIn delay-5"></span>    </a></li>

As you can see in the previous code, in the first <span> tag, I show a string inside the desFnz property of the menuItem object.

It works fine, my problem is that I want capitalize all the characters, so I tried to do:

th:text="${#strings.capitalize(menuItem.desFnz)}"

using the #strings.capitalize() but it can't work, in fact in my page I still obtain the text but not capitalized. Why? What am I missing? How can I fix this issue?

I have a string like "asdfHRbySFss" and I want to go through it one character at a time and see which letters are capitalized. How can I do this in Python?

In sublime if I use cmd+D to select every occurrence of 'old' the selection is case insensitive so will match old and camelOld. But when I start typing the capitalisation is not respected so i will get new and camelnew. Are there any shortcuts or plugins to get sublime to preserve first letter capitalisation when typing using multiple cursors?

I am looking for an elisp function that accepts a string and returns the same in title case (i.e., all words capitalized, except for "a", "an", "on", "the", etc.).

I found this script, which requires a marked region.

Only, I need a function that accepts a string variable, so I can use it with replace-regex. I would love to see a version of the above script that can accept either or...
