I'd say Mace-on. It would sound very European that way. (:

It's Make-on, rhymes with bacon. Unless the c has a cedilla (a little hook under it), the other pronunciation would make no sense.

Macon could be pronounced both mace-on and make-on. Considering the fact that the C in Maçon, which gives the mace-on pronounciation, does not exist in written English people would spell it Macon even if they would not pronounce it like make-on. On the other hand, make-on is the logical English pronounciation of that spelling.

I've always assumed Make-on, as in Macon, Georgia. Name of the character from "Song of Solomon".
