G'day leeneia and Kat,

Just tossing in my hat from a long way from Chicago / Milwaukee / Wyoming / Colorado and New Hampshire ... and even further from Scotland. I know a fair number of Australians with the surname M(a)cPherson ... and have dealt with a local engineering supplier of the same name ... and the only time I've ever heard the "MacFIERCEon" pronunciation (as against the commonly heard "MacFURson") is in the singing of MacPherson's Lament.

Regards,

Bob
