Is "McIntyre" really pronounced "MacIntyre"?
Or do they just do that because they think McIntyre would be too hard for kids to say?

It shouldn't be, technically speaking what with Mc and Mac being different, but McIntyre and Macintyre are generally pronounced exactly the same.

I think its generally pronounced "Mac" if followed by a suffix beginning with a vowel, and "Muck" if the next letter is a consonant.
Hence "MuckDonalds", "MacIntyre", "MuckMahon", "MacAdam", "MuckCartney", "MacIntosh" etc etc |

I should look in the phonebook for a guy with the last name McIntyre, call him, and ask him how to pronounce his last name. Settle this once and for all.

Right.
It's supposed to be "muck" but I guess it's just morphed over the years, according to accent and regional dialect etc. |

I'm guessing the "muck" variation just emerged out of "mack" anyway, so really they should all be mack.

you're right on the accent part. around here people pronounce it "mick" but when I go visit my parents in West Virginia they either use the "muck" or sometimes even the "mac"

I dunno... I always say "MickDonald".
Never even heard of the concept of it being pronounced "muck". Is "muck" just a way of saying "mack", but with an accent? |

I noticed that the announcers blend the Mc instead of saying "mac" and thought it was kind of weird.
