SQL strings are screaming at me. How to implement Oracle InitCap in Transact-SQL

Ever had to deal with series of data which is all in upper case? Corresponding with clients and screaming their name at them isn’t a good look. What is required is function to convert or transform the upper case data into proper names. For example JOE BLOGS should be Joe Blogs.
