The most authentic pronunciation of the name should be 2-syllables with equal stress on both syllables.
In Hebrew to English transliteration, the double-A, which is often separated with an apostrophe (i.e. "Na'ama"), signifies the letter "ayin", ע. This is a guttural sound is made by constricting the back of your throat. This sound is currently present in the Arabic letter "ayn", ع, often transliterated as a "aa" or a 3. However, in modern Hebrew and in modern Jewish prayers, the ayin had lost it's pronunciation, with the exception of the Yemini Jews. It becomes a neutral sound where you only hear a vowel. In modern Israel, it's often just pronounced "nah-ma", but maybe putting a little emphasis on the "ayin".
Other Hebrew names that contain this "ayin" sound are Ya'ara, Ma'ayan, Na'omi, and Re'ut (Ruth).
