In summary, capitalization in names serves to distinguish proper nouns and convey respect. Fixing capitalization is necessary for consistency and accuracy, and can typically be determined through official documents or consulting others. Unique or unconventional capitalization should be communicated to others to ensure correct usage. It is not appropriate to change someone else's name capitalization without their permission.

I accidently didn't capitalize my last name when I registered my account. If somebody could capitalize the h (change it to "Stephan Hoyer") it would be appreciated.

Thanks.
