I think the whole name and date minus puctuation would be stronger than the initials and DOB.
Typing out the whole phrase also allows for character substitutions, such as an uppercase O for the 0.
The only thing about using uppercase is that somebody watching one type can easily see that the Shift key is being used. Although "the hand is quicker than the eye" could be a factor.
I like to use a Random Password Generator set to STRONG, then make a neumonic out of it. The computer encrypts it and then speaks the key. You can only understand it by sticking a fish in your ear.
Don't get no safer than that.
