Is it really Mack-niece???

I’ve always said and heard Mick-niece…..but I did spend my formidable years east of the Basin.

MacNeese is masculine.
McNeese is feminine.

Just like you pronounce Rigolette as ROW-gulley.

This may not be always right but I’ve been told that if “Mc” is before a consonant it’s pronounced “mick” and if it is in front of a vowel it’s pronounced “Mac.”

Like McAfee or McElwain vs. McDuff and McCartney

So in this case it would be pronounced “mick-neese.”
