Purpose of Mod

This mod adds support for German call names. Any uppercase word in the first names list will be underlined (for display only, no data is changed).

Underlining is the official method to mark call names in germany.

For example: Wagner, Michael JAMES William will be converted to Wagner, Michael James William.
