As John indicated naming has quite a few rules and dynamics associated with
it. If you do not provide exactly what you are typing in or viewing it is
hard to provide a targeted response and we end up quoting you the manual
with a few personal embellishments.

Implicit case transformation to all upper-case is indeed unexpected but
lacking a reproducible example it is going to be attributed to user-error
and not a bug.
