And in a similar vein, I just noticed yesterday on the Wikipedia page that the Gaelic for "Crawford" is "MacCreamhainn".
Is that pronounced the way it looks, "mak-CREEM-hane"?

To be honest, I've never heard such a translation. As a Lowland name, it has to be a bit of a concoction in Gaelic but it would be "mach-kreeun" - definitely not your way!
