Should a name that is capitalized contain a lower case letter, for example, McDONALD or MCDONALD? [closed]

If the name is capitalized, for example, should it be McDONALD or MCDONALD?


Solution 1:

This is a matter of personal preference and/or a style guide, but here's what I recall from one usage authority (The Right Word at the Right Time, published by the Reader's Digest).

Smith > SMITH
La Salle > LA SALLE
LaSalle > LaSALLE
la Salle > LA SALLE
Macdonald > MACDONALD
MacDonald > MacDONALD
McDonald > McDONALD
