Well, as someone with a Maiden Name that starts with Mc - here is my rant. (ignore if you like.) I personally always hated it when someone put a space in my name. Drove me crazy! I also hated it if people got the capitalization wrong. Even if someone was doing all-caps, I would do that c little and I hated it when people had it in caps. (Hey, in typing class (back in the old days of typewriters...) - in timed tests - I would take the time to roll the paper to superscript the c)
So - I would personally say - never, never, never put a space in. I don't think that people with a name with a Mc tend to put a space in when they use it. That said - I don't think there is a standard.... > What's the standard for entering surnames that begin with "Mc"...... leave > a > space or not? For example, "Mc Dowell" or "McDowell"...? >
