Coming from that region they should be pronounced ohm-aru, and Tim-aru,
might not be the PC way to say it, but surely the correct pronunciation is
the way the locals say it.

As for Delphi, I seem to remember that the correct pronunciation - according
to key people at Borland is del-fee. It is a US thing to pronounce words
that end in "I" as an "I" eg sem-i
