Which statement is true about capitalization of name parts and titles?

• A. The first letters of the first, middle and last names, suffixes, and titles
• B. The entire name in uppercase
• C. Only the last name capitalized
• D. Only the given name capitalized

Answer: (A)

Capitalizing each part of a full name and any titles follows the standard convention that proper nouns and honorifics use initial capitals. When you write a full name, you capitalize the first letter of every name part: the given name, any middle names, the surname, and any suffix such as Jr., Sr., or III. Titles that accompany the name, like Dr., Mr., Mrs., Prof., or other honorifics, are capitalized as well when they are part of the name. This keeps the full identity clear and properly formatted. For example: Dr. Maria Elena Garcia-Jones Jr. demonstrates capitalization of the title and every name part, including the hyphenated last name. Writing the entire name in all caps is not the standard style, and capitalizing only the last name or only the given name leaves out parts of the identity.
