The problem

I was working on an application when suddenly I stepped into a method that intrigued me.

public static string NameFormatter(string name)

        int index = 1;
        char[] separator = new[] { ' ', '-', '_', '.', '\'' };
        name = name.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper() + name.Substring(1);
        while ((index = name.IndexOfAny(separator, index)) > 0)
        {
            index++;
            if (name.Length > index + 1)
            {
                name = name.Replace(
                                name.Substring(index, 1),
                                name.Substring(index, 1).ToUpper());
            }
        }
    }
    return name;
}
