Hello, I am wondering on how do you pronounce the name Pompey correctly, as I have heard pronounced as Pompee, Pompay, Pompaay, and Pompei?

Hi!!!!
I'm Italian so I can suggest you an answer.
The real form of this name is Pompei (Italian pronunciation: [pomˈpɛi]). The trong syllable is "PE" with "ɛ" like French "è" while final "i" like English "ee".
In Italy is not a given name but only a location name.
