The spelling of the word "McNeeley" is a bit unusual, with the combination of the "Mc" prefix followed by the double "e" in the middle. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be pronounced as [məkˈniːli]. The "Mc" prefix signifies that the name is of Scottish or Irish origin, while the double "e" is likely a variation of the more common "ie" ending in surnames. It is important to correctly spell names in order to show respect and accuracy when addressing individuals.
