You have clearly never ever dealt with musicians. :-) They will not just accept the wrong capitalization. You will need to fix it. I'll hazard a wild guess somebody will complain about the uc_first solution, and for every complaint, you can count on 10 more who just shrugged it off, but it's still wrong.
Well, then you are working for hours on implementing filters for special names, and then you still get a few names wrong... and then you did all that work for a few fixes. It's just not worth to create such filter. Tijnema
