Which way do you guys pronounce it?

I go with "May-or-ee".
May: as in the month of May
Or: as in ordinary
ee: as in bee

I believe PolynesianPop says it the same way, since I heard him pronounce it like the above. Also, Wes (House of Tiki) and Baxdog does too. We just happen to be having a conversation about the Maori carving that Wes had at his parking lot sale.
