Indeed. Then there are surnames like St. John.

This is addressed more to the O.P :-

Handling names is fraught, even if they're all written correctly!

Seems to me that trying to define some other format for writing them
is only going to make a difficult task even more difficult, maybe even
impossible. (I have a local script to deal with the names of members
of staff of the department that I'm in: and it's full of special
cases, and has to be updated several times a year. So I'm not talking
pure theory.)
