Maud MacCarthy redux
Maud MacCarthy is also spelled Maud McCarthy in this article (twice each). The wikilink of Maud MacCarthy goes to a McCarthy name, but the content in that article uses MacCarthy in defiance of its title. Not sure what's right, but something appears wrong in both, or at least inconsistent without explanation of the variation. Michael Devore 05:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for spotting the discrepancy. I'm not sure, but the following news article (referred to in the Wikipedia article) spells it "MacCarthy": Cheers, Jacklee 21:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I have Foulds' book, Music To-day: she is mentioned several times as "MacCarthy". Of course "Mac" and "Mc" are often confused, but I think he would have known which it was! Cenedi 21:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Cenedi, in that case, you may want to move "Maud McCarthy (Omananda Puri)" to "Maud MacCarthy (Omananda Puri)". By the way, planning to attend the performance of A World Requiem on 11 November at the Royal Albert Hall in London? I am. Cheers, Jacklee 22:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've changed occurrences of "McCarthy" in the article to "MacCarthy". Cheers, Jacklee 22:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, bother. Just got back from the performance of A World Requiem at the Royal Albert Hall on 11 November 2007. Throughout the programme Foulds' wife's name is indicated as "Maud McCarthy". Does that mean that is the correct spelling? &mdash; Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 19:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I overheard someone ask Malcolm MacDonald about this after the concert and he said his notes for the programme had the "Mac" spelling, which was correct, and the "Mc" must have been a late editorial change - "God knows why!" Cenedi 10:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Wasn't it lucky you were there to hear the remark! Guess we'll stick to "MacCarthy" then. &mdash; Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 11:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I was one of several people waiting to have a word with him. The person asking the question was an oldish man who said he had known Maud MacCarthy in her old age and had sometimes acted as her chauffeur - he had a copy of one of her books with him. Cenedi 12:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
