He is always billed as George Pal, with two seemingly English names.
If we are going to call him by his Hungarian name(s), then it should be György Pál, and not this half-and-half bastardization as currently exists.
This page should be moved back to plain old George Pal.

I have multiple sources that give his original name as "Györgi Pál Marczincsak" (or possibly "Marczincsák"?), and not "Marincsák" as shown previously here. See, for example, this Google search and the index of Hungarian cinema: from coffee house to multiplex by John Cunningham. A search for "György Pál Marincsák" suggests to me that it is an erroneous usage that is specific to the en: Wikipedia and material using it as a source. Is that correct? -- The Anome ( talk) 09:23, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
The article cites his father's name as "George Pal Sr.", presumably meaning that his father's name was the same as his. However, his father's name at the time would have been his Hungarian name, since his father would, at the time of Pal's birth, have had no idea that his son would later anglicise his name for professional reasons, and no motivation, even if he had had a time machine in order to know that, to change his name to that of his son. I've therefore changed his father's name in the article to match Pal's birth name. However, I'd appreciate any fact-checking that anyone can do on this. -- The Anome ( talk) 11:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
I am a relative of George Pal and his father was Gyula Marczincsak Szabo --- Pal was an artistic last name — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.192.140.13 ( talk • contribs)
