* INSTRUCTIONS:
*
* Use this function on any outputted name data you want. Don't use it
* if for database entires or critial data as it's subject to issues caused
* by people with uncommon name patterns like L. Ron Hubbard. That would
* return L. which might not be appropriate. This is useful for informal
* applications such as returning a success message on a contact form.
*
* Use this like any other function: mod_name($var);
