The spelling of the word "Mccaskey" can be confusing for those unfamiliar with the name. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be written as /məˈkæski/, with the stress on the second syllable. The first letter, "M", is pronounced as the letter itself, while the "c" and "s" are blended together to make the "sk" sound. The two "k" letters are pronounced distinctly, making the final syllable "key" similar to the words "key" or "ski."
