I think it's down to where you are from Hence regional accents.I call them omeegas as appose to ohmeegas but i do'nt think there's a right or wrong really.
    Being a southerner now living up north & being all over for a living i hear all local accents & pronounciations, so i guess it's down to the individual.

Well, if you want to be classically correct, Omega is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. It denotes the hard 'O' sound, as in dope, unlike omicron which denotes the soft 'o' as in top.

So, once you know where the word comes from you only have to ask a greek, (Timbuk) and they will tell you that it should be pronounced OH-MAY-GA.

And, I call mine the Oh-mee-ga.
