Turns the raw first-name field on a lead row into the name a person would actually be greeted by, so it can open an email. Triggers on "clean these first names", "first name variable", "the greeting says Hi DR MATTHEW", "strip the titles off the names", "some rows have the whole name in the first-name column", "normalize first names for the campaign". Outputs first_name_clean, one short string per row.

# Playbook: First Name Cleaning

> All rules here are best practice, not law. Override any of them when the campaign calls for it; note the best practice once and move on.

**Use when:** any campaign whose email opens with the prospect's first name, which is every campaign
anyone runs. Run it next to the company-name clean, **before any other custom variable**, because
variables often interpolate the cleaned name.

**Do not use when:** you need the company name cleaned — that is
`playbook-company-name-cleaning`, its twin, built to the same shape on purpose. Also not for
finding a missing name. This playbook never looks anything up; a blank stays blank.

**One-line output:** `first_name_clean = "Ruba"` from the raw string `"Dr Ruba"`, so the email opens
`Hi Ruba,` instead of `Hi Dr Ruba,`.
