The spelling of "McCuaig" can be tricky due to its origins in Gaelic. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is pronounced /məˈkuːɪg/. The "c" is pronounced as a hard "k" sound, while the "ua" combination is pronounced like "oo-ah." The "i" and "g" at the end make an "ee-g" sound. When writing the word, it is important to remember the capitalization of the "M" and the proper placement of the "c" and "g" within the name.
