When we assume, that a name is stored in lowercase, a small modifier can fix the display. (This is a info only post.) Save the file: modifier.initcap.php into your plugins folder as:

modifier.initcap.php

Code:

/**
* Capitalizes all first letters in a word.
*/
function smarty_modifier_initcap($string='')
{
$string = ucwords($string);
return($string);
}

And usage example:

Code:

{$name|initcap}

Now, it can look like SQL's INITCAP() function. You can extend this modifier to extra process and validate the name, like removing extra spaces, etc.

However, a very quick and lazy processing does not need a separate modifier. You can call php's function directly, as:

Code:

{$name|ucwords}
