Maclaren or MacLaren?
It's customary to put a capital letter after the "Mac" - like "MacDonald's". Clan MacLaren certainly believe that there ought to be one. Most Scouting sources are with a lower case "l". Anyone know for sure which? Alansplodge (talk) 01:56, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * He himself wrote his name with lowercase 'l'. I'll try to find out where I got the proof of this spelling. Note that he was born McLaren (without 'a' and capital 'L'), but consistently used his mother's name (de Bois) and Maclaren in his business publications. I have nor found a formal name change, but did find several other persons named 'de Bois Maclaren' who are therefore likely to be family.  Wim van Dorst  (talk)  21:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC).
