Name[edit]

There is no other article called "Thomas MacGreevy" so this article should be moved.

In addition to adding the Mc vs Mac comments here, etc, I fixed a link on the Oxford Book of Modern Verse page. Since the table of contents refers to 'McGreevy', I left the visible part alone. A nice instance of the Mc to Mac transition (and which probably dates it, but I'm not sure) is in Samuel Beckett Disjecta. Beckett's two articles that mention MacGreevy reflect the spelling change. --192.35.35.34 22:46, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

There is something peculiar about MacGreevy's/McGreevy's name. His Wikipedia entry says "Thomas MacGreevy (born Thomas McGreevy," but it says nothing about the change or when it occurred. Richard Aldington's Wikipedia entry lists the book MacGreevy/McGreevy wrote: Richard Aldington: An Englishman. Amazon.com has a photo of the cover of that book showing the author's name as "McGreevy." Either he didn't change it until after he wrote that book, or he used both spellings simultaneously.
