Re: Camel Case

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  FWiW: Unfortunately that algorithm would generally produce what is 
typically considered "A Title Case" value instead of "aCamelCase" value; 
plus has an unstated assumption that the input value must not be all 
blanks nor an empty string.  As others had provided similarly, that 
algorithm also does not support making lowercase from an international 
character set.  Consider that the upper case name [the OP wants to 
process names] "EMIL SOMMARSTRÖM" processed by that algorithm produces a 
Title Case value with a Camel Case value for the second token, i.e. the 
value "Emil SommarstrÖm", instead of producing the Title Case value 
"Emil Sommarström".
