    This slightly robotic-sounding video does a good job of sounding it out.

    I def only really type it out as ck and when I see it that way read it as see-kay but I guess when I'm just thinking about it mentally I say cl-raik? But really fast. Please go to sleep.

    When vocalizing in my head, the clr blend in a way that I can "hear", but I fail to produce when speaking.

    I usually say ck like 'see k'
    If im trying to say the whole name, quickly, the best I can come up with to explain the sound is 'seal rake' lol
    I know its 'draik' but can't stop saying the cl raik variant
