Script to Convert Upper case to Lower case

Hi All

I have a script which extracts values from a Database (A persons name) and puts it into a variable in my script IE: $NAME
However the Value in the DB is all in uppercase and contains the users first name and last name

EG:

Code:

> echo $NAME
GRAHAM BOYLE
>

What I need is only the persons first name to be displayed and it should be in lower case except for the first letter

EG:

Code:

> echo $NAME
Graham
>

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks
G.
