Demi - meant to go under Cleveland's post
I live in the US and I'd pronounce Demi to rhyme with Emmy. I don't know if I've ever heard it said deh-MEE, although Demi Moore is the only time I ever have heard the name. I don't know which way is correct to say her name, but I've only heard Demmy I believe.And for the record, I've never heard Magdalene said without the g either.

Personally I don't recall ever having heard a newscaster on TV in the USA call Demi Moore "Demmy", though perhaps once or twice I've heard a member of the general public say it that way. But I also often hear members of the general public saying "Hayley" Berry for Halle Berry instead of "Hallie", which is the way she pronounces it, and also how I remember all newscasters pronouncing Halle.
