“O’Henry”

Dr Weevil has noticed that Espasa-Calpe has published a collection of shorts by William Sidney Porter, misspelling his pen name. I thought at first that they’d Oirish-ised it for marketing reasons which I cannot conceive, but they’re just plain stupid. (Do writers whose first name begins with “o” avoid initialising it to prevent this kind of confusion?)
