I always thought it was mel-PAW-meh-nee. That's how I read it in my head. I prefer it that way. I think mel-poh-MEE-nee sounds like a deliberate, joking kind of mispronunciation (like how I say "Therr-moh-Mee-ter" for thermometer, or how someone might jokingly call a Penelope "penn-eh-LOH-pee"). That doesn't mean I'm correct though... I'm really just guessing from my instinctual Greek pronunciations.
