I'd automatically say DAYker, but I'd like to say it DAH-kree.

DAH-kre or DA-kre

But then, I'm sometimes very literal-minded. :-p

I prefer the pronunciation DAY-ker, mind you, but Dacre is just not a spelling I'd associate with DAY-ker--I'd expect something like Daker. It's funny: I can handle odd name pronunciations like Caoimhe's KEE-va just fine, but for some reason I just can't wrap my brain around Dacre!

I must be the odd one out- I know how to pronounce it but every time I look at it I want to say "DAK-ree"

I do know the pronuniciation now, but before, I was saying it in my head as "Dacker" I think :-/

In Australian it would come out something like DAY-ker (rhyming with acre, AY-ker)
