      Well, I have to say I think it’s okay because generally we do capitalize the first letter of a sentence. But my phone of course autocorrected it. And since it’s a name, we should defer to the preference of the person or thing being named. If I said “e e cummings was a poet perhaps best known for his rejection of capitalisation and punctuation,” it would be stupid and perhaps rude of me to type it as “E. E. Cummings,” and yet that’s how he appears in Wikipedia. So I guess I come down on the side of, “I’ll allow it.”
