Question on capitalization

[Alissa Nesson]

I’m currently writing a review for a book where a boy named Cachi is sometimes normal-sized and sometimes tiny. I’ve been differentiating by calling him “tiny Cachi” sometimes. I’m torn on whether I should be capitalizing both Tiny and Cachi (Tiny Cachi”) or whether I should just leave “tiny” with a small “t” (tiny Cachi). AI says both are technically grammatically correct but it’s standard to capitalize descriptive words as part of a name for emphasis, but I’m afraid the editor won’t agree. How standard is this? What would you do? Thanks!

I think as long as you are consistent, it should be correct either way. I would probably find a different way to refer to him if I was worried about a possible grammar deduction.

Thank you! I was wondering what others would do. I ended up turning in the review with a lower case “t” and it was totally fine. I thought it would’ve added a little humor to capitalize it, but I was afraid of being marked down if I got too creative.
