I made that Search and Replace mistake once. Fortunately, it was after a
backup, which I restored.
A Search and Replace for "space plus single quote" with "space double quote"
works better in this case for the first quote. Then, repeat for "single

But isn't that a global change and wouldn't then suit natural children?

There is no need to put quotes around a name if the name you want

Names don't normally include quotes so to have a name in quotes
