Irish name - McMahon... ow do you pronounce it?

Lady I have to meet with soon.


I would guess something like Mick-may-hon (like honey)?





What do you think?

Irish name - McMahon... ow do you pronounce it?
It's mac MAhun, with ma as in magic. Can sometimes be pronounced as mac maan though, with no 2nd syllable. If she's from Ireland, it's likely to be the first way
Reply:Mac marn
Reply:I've always heard it said, 'McMan'. It's the curse of the Irish Gaelic silent letter.
Reply:McMan would be a correct pronunciation of that name. Although it probably depends on your accent.
Reply:Mc Maan (as in Naan bread).
Reply:Pronounce it like - Mekman
Reply:Actually it would be Mic-Man the H is silent
Reply:The only way to tell is to get drunk and then say it.
