Hi!

My name is Tom MacWright. Every time I sign into a Discourse instance, it suggests that I should set my name as “Tom Mac Wright”. Like many folks from Scotland and Ireland, my name has a medial capital, or, in programming terms, is PascalCase.

Anyway, here’s my pitch: Discourse runs this [User.suggest\_name](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/user.rb#L347-L350) method that uses titleize to turn MacWright into Mac Wright. Instead, that should only run when [you have only a username or an email here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/f645cb9c1463bc130f428fd4c59de3f8259a140b/lib/auth/result.rb#L74). Otherwise, someone put their name on GitHub (Git Hub?), and they likely meant it.

Thanks!

-Tom
