With the number of common names also being common words, I think you are wrong. I jumped for Joy, is different than I jumped for joy. Also, I'm in love with Chastity, would have a much different meaning than I love chastity. A capital letter at the beginning of a sentence lets you know you are starting at the correct place, rather than have skipped over some words perhaps. The syntax of English is fairly sparse anyway.
