This is a revised solution for the 7Geese JavaScript Challenge.

/*global require, module, Backbone, $, _*/
'use strict';
module.exports = function(name) {
    // replace '-' with a space
    var myName = name.replace(/-/g, ' ');
    // sentence case (with exceptions of 'as', 'on')
    myName = myName.replace(/(?!as|on)\b[a-z]/g, function(myLetter) {
        return myLetter.toUpperCase();
    });
    return myName;
};
