The problem is that there's no way to get it right for all names, the result of which is that you have to manually check every name.

Eg, consider the British author Alexander McCall Smith. His surname is "McCall Smith", but there's no way any algorithm can know that - it's something that the user has to know, and adjust the metadata accordingly.

Do you really buy so many books that you can't simply edit the metadata as you add each book to Calibre?
