Switch off NAME prediction

[pcaker]

I really love this program, and it has enormously increased the functionality & ease of use of my touch smartphone (HTC Amaze). The cursor arrows alone are invaluable. One thing I do not like, however, is the inevitably clumsy NAMES prediction. Names can be anything, it is highly unlikely the program can predict the name you have started to type, given the hundreds of millions out there. I have seen incredible program generated substitutions bearing no similarity at all to what I had typed. i.e. I could not possibly have mistyped to that extent. Given the near impossibility of this name prediction task, I recommend that if a word begins with a capital letter, and it is not at the beginning of a sentence, then the word (name) prediction should be switched off.

Are you saying common words keep showing up as names?
Could you give an example?
What I do is every time I use a new name I make sure it's in my user dictionary with a long press.
Next time it's there or within a very limited list, not necessarily the chosen word.
