I studied latin, greek, hebrew... I still pronounce it My Mo (short for My Maurice, I think though it could be My Maureen)
That seem to be the nearest to the diphthong intended, and give him a name as well.

This might come a bit too late, but i can tell you how to pronunce "maemo". I came up with the name, so...
...
So now that the origin is clear, and me being Spanish and Finnish being pronounced almost exactly as Spanish...
"mah-Eh-mo"
mah as the beginning of my
eh as the "e" in "pet"
mo as in Monica, but only pronouncing the M and the O.

This discussion is kind of funny though. One might think it would be easy to describe in words how something is supposed to sound but it's not.
If you pronounce it May-moe, you'd be right if the OS's name was Meimou, Mee-mo would be ok if the OS was Miimo and so on..

More fun: http://www.acapela-group.com/text-to...tive-demo.html .
I personally say it much like "Spanish - Maria" does, which is halfway between the Finnish and the male Spanish voice...(damn inaccurate TTS systems).

I've always said "May-moe" myself.
After reading half this thread.. I still don't know if it's:
May-moe
Mah-moe
Mey-mah
My-moe
Or what... lol. For hells sake.. I'll just call it "M5". Unless you bastards got a problem with "emm" being the pronunciation of "M"
.
