John and Paul's music licensing company was called Maclen Publishing. Based upon that and the prevalence of those with Scottish names being referred to as "Mac", I'd guess that "Macca" could have easily been an existing nickname for the original. Or maybe the replacement couldn't spell McCartney so chose that as a diminutive.

According to others ( www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/macca/), it's a common nickname for those with surnames starting in 'Mc' or 'Mac' and: His friends called him Macca, too, as is evidenced by the Anthology recording of "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," when John asks, "Macca, you ready?" (or something like that). |
