I've always said "day-mon", with "mon" rhyming with John. Skipping the "n" and comparing with the above Simpson's example, I would pronounce Maemo "May Moe". Assuming "my Moe" is right, I would pronounce daemon "die-mon" which seems weird to me but might be right..

Where does the name Maemo come from, anyway?
Isn't daemon just the US spelling of demon (UK) ? So isn't it just pronounced dee-mon, that's how I've heard other UK linux admins pronounce it.
