8/ Blimey, it's an absolute mess. But I think I ended up with a solution that normalises most names if they are entered with stupid upper/lower case inconsistencies, and accounts for strange names, strange positioning of articles, and also puts Mr/Miss/Dr/Prof/etc always at the front.

9/ All this because I couldn't stand the fact that a few people had bought tickets to Harmony In Harlem concerts but put their name as "judith smith" or "DR C BURT" rather than "Judith Smith" and "Dr C Burt". Oops. That's several days of life I won't get back!
