Capitalize the specific names of people and pets.
My cousin Umeko moved here from Japan.
We named the puppy George.
A title is a word that comes before a person's name. A title gives more information about who a person is. Titles that come before a name are capitalized.We named the puppy George.

Tip: If a title is not used with a name, it is not capitalized. My aunt is funny. The judge was here. But, if a title is used as a name, it is capitalized. Tell Mom I am going to the park. Grandpa will fix the computer.Dr. Gupta Ms. Liang
