I'm Canadian, so I say "My Eh? Moe". 
Well, I try to say it that way. I keep saying May Moe, then correcting myself.

What? You decided in the summit against the Spanish pronunciation of Maemo? 
Dealbreaker! I'm not buying the N900 now.

I prefer to pronounce it In French, more specifically French Canadian.
"Mémo"
Similar to may-mo, but without the "a" part.
Since it's all open source anyway, I can pronounce it any way I want!

Hope you like it.
In addition we have Ukrainian word maemo, which translates as we have ...

Those who have studied latin at school know that "ae" has to be read "e", so:
Maemo --> Mémo
The fact that in Maemo's symbols the "a" and the "e" are always linked together leads me to that reading.
And that is definitely the correct one
