Nope...suggesting when games get tight and everything is on the line, one team has pulled it out again and again and the other one hasn't. Not saying they can't do it, but they haven't shown it yet.

One rule of thumb was that if you have a vowel following the M' (as the prefix used to be expressed - no Mc or Mac to it), then you used a Mack sound. But McNamara, as an Irish-American name, became an exception to that rule. (The McNamaras that I know from Ireland are "Mehk-Namaras.") The only 100% reliable guidance is how a particular family pronounces their name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now there has been such a jumbling up of the gene pool that one easily finds Joness and Smiths in Scotland. Edited June 13, 2022 by Sabres Fan in NS more goodly ...

Oh for sure. I know an Irish MacGuinness, whose name is nonetheless pronounced mehk-Guinness. And I know at least two Scotch-Irish-American McElroy clans -- one of them are the mehk-Elroys, and the other are the MACK-Elroys. Lol.

Eleven Posted June 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) I still want to know more about these Irish pronunciation conventions. McEnroe just crossed my mind, too. And McIntyre. I'd say it's the vowel, but McNamara is still out there. Edit: And then McAdam crushes the vowel thing.
