Ko-nah-me

I believe that's correct.
Ko-nah-me sounds a bit off.

Actually, I have to retract my statement.
I actually pronounce it as "Kon-uh-mee."
Like "economy" without the "e."

Generally, say it how you would in English, and then move the emphasis one syllable back.

Sweet. So that means I've been doing it right, more or less?

Huh. I'll have to remember that.

That's something I just kind of made up...so don't take it too close to heart. I just know it tends to be true in some instances, such as:
Hiroshima (or I guess Hiroshima) is Hiroshima and Osaka is Osaka.

When in doubt, it's almost always first syllable.

You can here it pronounced at the end of this video:


And as a side-note, Nintendo is also pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable like, NIN-ten-do.

But I don't think anyone outside of Japan would ever say it like that.
