    No. We type the names as they're given. "Compare the handwritten name in the image with the indexed name shown in the text box below the highlight. If you determine that the indexed name shown in the text box matches the highlighted name on the record, click Match. The two names should be spelled exactly the same." This is from the help doc on quick name review. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-review-names-on-get-involved
