You're right on Eames/eems - in its case the ea is pronounced like the ea in 'bean', and yet.
Aha, Geoff. I have trouble with that one too - it sounds like 'Joff'. Which is apparently the Old English way of pronouncing it, so I'm giving myself a pass. Either way it has too many vowels.
I used to think meme was pronounced 'mem-e', like memo but with an e. I've mostly trained myself out of that one (mostly).
