Answer 1

I'm not sure where and how you want to display it, but if it's on a web-page you might try simply altering the display using CSS. Try adding:

text-transform:capitalize;

to the relevant rule, like this:

.name { text-transform:capitalize;}

if you put the name in a div or span with class="name". Of course, this will not in any way alter the database entry, but I wasn't clear which was preferable.
