| Title | Surname Capitalization - a Third Way |
| Category | General |
| Description | Several surnames have a capital letter somewhere in the middle, e.g.
McQueen, MacQueen, DeRomana, and are not handled well by the current
option to show surnames all in capitals. I would like a third option which would capitalize only the end of the surname, after the capital letter in the middle, with the additional proviso that each part of a hyphenated surname should be treated separately for this option. Thus the above examples would appear as McQUEEN, MacQUEEN, DeROMANA. This would provide a useful and desirable distinction between MacQueen=MacQUEEN, and Macqueen=MACQUEEN, or between Mackintosh=MACKINTOSH and MacKintosh=MacKINTOSH, etc. And e.g. (fictional example) Smith-McQueen would be capitalized as SMITH-McQUEEN |
