PgbNameCase

PgbNameCase is a .NET library for properly casing personal names, handling a wide variety of edge cases such as particles (e.g., "van", "de"), prefixes (e.g., "Mc", "Mac"), apostrophes, Roman numerals, and more. It is designed to convert names from any capitalization to their correct, human-readable form.

Features

  • Correctly capitalizes names with prefixes like "Mc", "Mac", "O'", etc.
  • Handles names with particles (e.g., "van", "de", "von", "bin", "al").
  • Supports names with apostrophes and hyphens.
  • Recognizes and formats Roman numerals.
  • Handles special cases and exceptions for common names.
  • Null-safe and culture-invariant.

Installation

Install from NuGet:

dotnet add package PgbNameCase

Usage

using PgbNameCase;

string formatted = NameCaseFormatter.Format("john mccarthy"); // "John McCarthy"
string formatted2 = NameCaseFormatter.Format("leonardo da vinci"); // "Leonardo da Vinci"
string formatted3 = NameCaseFormatter.Format("o'connor"); // "O'Connor"
string formatted4 = NameCaseFormatter.Format("charles iii"); // "Charles III"

If you need to use custom formatted names, you can pass your own set:

var customNames = new HashSet<string> { "McCloud", "MacLeod" };
string formatted = NameCaseFormatter.Format("john mccloud", customNames); // "John McCloud"
