The spelling of the name Oldaker may seem straightforward, but it actually has a few complexities. The first syllable is pronounced with a long "o" sound, represented by the phonetic symbol /oʊ/. The second syllable has a short "a" sound, represented by /æ/. The third syllable is pronounced with a long "o" sound again, but this time with the symbol /oʊ/ followed by a hard "k" sound represented by /k/. So the phonetic transcription for Oldaker is /ˈoʊldækər/.
