Should the verb "to Leslie" be spelt with a lower case initial (i.e. "to leslie")?
One website where I posted my other Leslie question seems to think it should. I think it should be capital because it is named after a person.

Leslie is a name/noun, so a naming word should always start with a capital letter. If you are starting a sentence with "to leslie", that is wrong. If you are starting a sentence, it should be To Leslie, thank you for the card, blah blah blah. If you are in the middle of a sentence, for example, and you are saying, I'm sending a card to Leslie for Christmas, I hope she receives it in time blah blah blah, then, to Leslie is correct. A small letter "t" for "to" is correct. But you must always spell a person's name with a capital letter, no matter where in the sentence it is. Aways start a sentence in English with a capital letter, even if the first word of the sentence is not a noun/naming word.

@Rollerlove14 He's not talking about the name Leslie he's talking about the speakers Leslie or the computer app Leslie. He is not labeling it to a person he is saying to use the speaker to use the app.

Leslie's a noun in any context, to is the verb.
