Answer 1

seeing it is tagged PHP:
either

string ucfirst ( string $str );

to uppercase first letter of the first word

or

string ucwords ( string $str );

to uppercase the first letter of every word

you might want to use those in combination with

string strtolower ( string $str );

to normalize all names to lower case first.
