OK I'm sure this has been asked but I couldn't find it and am getting frustrated

I need a script to capitalize names such as

Sinead O'Connor

where a word starts with O' it caps the next letter after the O'

but not if the ' is in the middle of a word like can't, don't or won't

All I've managed to do is create Can'T, Don'T, Won'T

Not so hot with regular expressions myself and could use help

Thanks
