Can you capitalize lead name token in email?

[Anonymous]

If a lead enters their name in lowercase (john doe), how can I capitalize that token in an email (John Doe)? Is this something that can be fixed in form settings or should it be fixed in the HTML? I'm currently trying to fix it (unsuccessfully) in the HTML using the following:
<p><span class="text-transform:capitalize">Hey {{lead.First Name:default=there}}</span>,</p>

I have no coding background, so the HTML could be wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Sanford Whiteman‌,

Thank you for sharing it. This is helpful and it worked. However, even after adding ## in the end of the code, the whitespace still appears. Can you help me please on how to remove the extra spaces?

If your code is exactly like the above, the whitespace isn't coming from Velocity.

Yup, that worked. Thanks again!

Did you check the checkbox on the right side of the velocity script and does the lead have a first name?

[Noah_Wong1]

Yes, to both. Unfortunately no luck.

If you can do this, I'd love to know! 

Otherwise, I tend to take the time to standardize data using CRM fusion in Salesforce.
