in reply to Capitalize First Letter of Each Word
Many of these cases are handled by what I call "title case." The rules vary from style guide to style guide, but as I learned them,"Bit o' Mint" "Mano y Mano" "Chris diBona" "Scrooge McDuck" "Cruella de Ville" "Jake O'Shaunessy" "Tales from the Crypt" "Sanford and Son Salvage Company"
From there, you can try to "restore" words that fit certain patterns, but you'll probably fail. For example, "MacIntyre" but "Macintosh™." Names do not follow common grammatical or spelling rules; they are individual and a special case. Where possible, take the name's owner's spelling and don't corrupt it into all-caps in the first place.
