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
