Once a staff member is on iSAMS, you can edit the name: if you look in the top right-hand corner of the general tab, you'll see a Use AutoComplete tick box. If you deselect this, you'll be able to enter the capitalisation you want.
However, this option is not available when adding the person for the very first time and it's definitely a hassle to have to go back and edit the name once it has already been entered.
