The spelling of the word "Haughney" can be a bit tricky to decipher. It is pronounced as /hɒni/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The "au" combination is pronounced as /ɔː/, like in the word "caught," while the "gh" is silent. The "e" at the end of the word is pronounced as a schwa sound /ə/. So, when spelled out phonetically, "Haughney" is pronounced as "haw-nee."
