The origin is as stated: pwgen (a password generator utility which you can set to give you all character passwords) gave me an option, "maimo". I used 5 characters names for my machines, so i also restricted it to that. But I did not like the "i" so I changed it for an "e".
Maemo was the name of my desktop, and little by little it gathered importance in the project, as i made it the canonical repository for everybody involved. And became THE server. And the project. And the SDK. And the OS.
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.
Hope you like it.
@ jesuscliment
I really hope you can make a sound recording of you pronouncing Maemo, for the history books ...

i find that awful...
the english pronounciation of "caesar" is equally horrible. but i guess i'm spoiled, because in german "ä" is derived from latin "ae"...
i'm going with the latin diphthong, suits best IMO.

maemo = latinization of short ( memorandum ) > memo
" A memorandum or memo is a document or other communication that aids the memory by recording events or observations on a topic, such as may be used in a business office. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorandum
Latinization of Finland is finnish's new national sport. http://www.yleradio1.fi/nuntii/
and if I don't "drank the ink" at latin school class I could understand all, but for me, latin is definitely better than finnish language
All make sense. So go latin. It is the best choice .
as wikipedia say : "Romanian is a Romance language, belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family, having much in common with languages such as French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. "
for me is naturaly me-mo like { me-mo } ry

Yes, here is the closest pronounceation of "Maemo" that represents the "original" spanish/finnish way of saying the word.
Good link... just the one word pronounced.
Ofcourse there is no one right way of saying it, but this is as close that I can see Jesus (all mighty) ment it in the first place.

There is only one real pronunciation, and it is "MY-moe". And its not Latin, just a made up marketing choice. Give it a rest, put down the Hooked on Phonics discs, and move on.

in every (european) language where "ae" exists, it's derived from latin (even the non-romanic ones).
i know it's not supposed to be a latin word, but the pronounciation in all of those languages is similar to latin.
"my-moe" is okay, "mee-moe" is not.

They pronounce it "MY MOE" and i thought that's WRONG. It should be "MAY-MOE." AE is "A"....I thought they're Europeans..that's why they pronounce it wrong.
