>but the rules say that names are capitalized.
No, "the rules" (assuming you mean AP Stylebook) say to use the capitalization protocols of the named person's native language and their particular name. My official name here is "joepole" so it is proper to use it without capitalization.
I don't always follow the APSb, though. For instance, I use the comma between the penultimate item and the conjunction in a list while the APSb says not to. I just like it better and it's generally recognized as correct usage.
APSb: Red, orange and yellow.
joepole: Red, orange, and yellow.
