| The internet is playing tricks on me, and people don't seem to agree on what the actual pronunciation is. No biggie, I'm just curious. |

I went with clow, but I think it's more like cloe.

Added this extra option for you now, and changed your vote :)

This is what made me curious. I had always pronounced it "clow", until a friend of mine said "cluff"... so I decided to look into it.
The first result Google gave me has a sound bite that says "Fare-cluff" and then it's described as "Fare-clow" on the right. The second result was equally confusing with a bizarre "fare-cloo" among the possible pronunciations (but I dismissed it because it just doesn't seem right). |

| Probably cloe, for me. |

Hmm... I'm beginning to suspect it's one of those words like "either", with two accepted pronunciations.
Is there a Fairclough around here? I wonder if the Faircloughs themselves are split over this issue :p |

| Knew someone with the last name Clough and he pronounced it "cluff" so I'll go with "fair-cluff." |
