MacOS mail auto-corrects name to all caps

Every time I write an email, Mail auto-corrects my name to all caps when I write it at the end of the message. This behavior is unique to Mail. Messages and Pages do not make this change.


I have checked the text replacement settings and there is no issue there. I have also checked the the user dictionary in the ~Libraries folder.


Any suggestions?

How is this user name written in your Contacts.app ...(?) in Caps...


From Mail.app>Window>View Previous recipients if it is in error here, remove it
