Proper nouns: Personal names

Personal names, first and last, are always proper nouns and always capitalized unless the person has a preference that dictates otherwise (i.e., e. e. cummings). Pay close attention to how a personal name is written and take care with names that include an apostrophe, abbreviation or family name that has multiple words.
