Does anyone know how the Irish surnames Carmody and Devaney are pronounced?

My guesses were "CAR-muh-dee" and "duh-VAY-nee" but I'd love to know for sure.

You're on the button with Carmody.
Devaney, I believe, is more often spelled with two Ns, i.e., Devanney. With two Ns it is pronounced Duh-vann-ee.
