How would you spell the Irish surname "McKenna" in Irish Gaelic?

Inselstricken is definitely right on this one (and of course, I gave him a thumbs up). I just wanted to let you know that there is a more traditional way to say (and write) "Nic Cionnaith" in the southern Gaeltachts of Ireland: N� Chionnaith - note that N� causes the letter "h" to appear after the "C"; this is called s�imhi� and changes the pronunciation.
