What is the accepted pronunciation of “DeLorme”?
Is it “de-lor-MAY” or de-LORM” or something else?
da-lore-um Is the way I have always heard it.
We’ve always said Duh-LORM. We’ve also heard all sorts of variations.
Guess I’ve never heard it, only seen it on my trusty map book all these years. “da-LOR-um”? To rhyme with “forum”?
And with so many under your belts, Honeybunnies, you day “duh-LORM”.
Who has the phone number for the company in Maine?

I have always pronounced it de-Lorm.
Gary is right, it is duh-lore-um (silent e).
Which is actually true to the original French pronunciation and spelling:
de L’Orme
If you want to hear it pronounced, there is an audio clip in this online dictionary entry:

Whattya know, searching the googleverse and I get a hit to come back here. Small world and once again WGA answers the questions I have. This is pronounced as I thought. Duh-Lorm not Duh-Lorm-May

Wow, it looks like WA got something right. Well, he’s right more often than I think.

Wow, I never doubted my pronunciation but now I see that it has been questionable. LOL

You are all wrong, it is pronounced gar-min. Looking to replace my Delorme PN-60 and found that it has been discontinued by the new owners.
