When folks ask me about this at conferences and such, I always say, "doesn't
matter how you pronounce it, as long as you love using it", quickly followed
up with, "but GNOME developers say 'guh-nome' because the 'G' comes from the
'GNU' project". :-)

Some of the common pronunciations are: Gee-nome (where Gee rhymes with
see) or Guh-nome (where Guh rhymes a bit with duh :P).
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=gnome has a pronunciation
that's a rhyme with nome

Could be a page on live.gnome.org :)

Ga-nome is the correct pronunciation, not Nome.

Hi All,

I have heard a lot of people pronouncing GNOME as Ga-nome and I feel 
Nome is the correct pronunciation.

Appreciate if someone please advise me which is the correct pronunciation.

Thanking You
