I've been pronouncing Maemo as MEE-mo. All of the Finns from Nokia on YouTube say MAY-mo. But then, at work we have a server named Caelus, and everyone there tries to correct me when I say KY-lus and not KAY-lus.
And I've always said NOKE-yuh, whereas everyone around me says no-KEE-ah, because they assume it's a Japanese company.
Well...

Quim Gil's way of saying it.

Although I don't dispute "Cesium and Caesium" are pronounced the same though.

I think the official international pronunciation of oe or ae is e, as in Encyclop(a)edia, or F(o)etus.
