Name change notation

Classification: Query

I know that in genealogy research you will find many variations of a name, but how do genealogists show an actual name change. Example: Martin Guffey becomes Martin McGuffey. Do I put the old name in parentheses like Martin (Guffey) McGuffey?

Thanks for your input.
