According to the biography of O'Malley by Richard English, his name at birth, and that of his family's, was Malley, and that he latterly added the "O" to assert his Irishness. I believe name changes such as this are an important part of Irish Republicanism, though most attention has been paid to those who Gaelicise their name, not enough attention has been given to those who those who attempt to alter their anglicised names.
I think that you are right that the name was Malley however we shouldn't take it that that is how the family would have been know by all the people around them. The use of O and Mac (and varients thereof) could fluctuate within the same family in Ireland and there are plenty of examples of brother one of whom uses the O and one of who doesn't. People know that the O would be there but may not have used it themselves, not neccessarily to appear more 'English' as the 'O' had actually eroded in Irish to a slight 'uh' sound or gone all together in some Irish names anyway. It is only with the advent of technology that actually standardising these names has become important and I wouldn't be surprised if it were possible to find examples within his own family of both Malley and O'Malley being used - I know that within my own family from the period prior to this there were a variety of spellings used by different members of the family until the influence of proper record keeping and standardisation settled the question of how to spell our name!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.46.151 (talk) 20:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
