So there's a guy named Thornton but his last name isn't Creek?
True. ("Thornton" is a stage name. His real name is Jethro Tull.)
How do you spell ThorNton Creek (the band, not the creek)?
Just like that. With a capital "N" in the middle. Always with an "N". Sometimes people forget the "N", but that's just wrong.
