How to pronounce Girome

Three notations of the same pronunciation: the tonic stress, the spelled-out reading, and the phonetic alphabet. Lean on the accent of the Midi to read them: say them the way Provence speaks, sounding out every syllable and every e, and you will land very close to the right form.

Tonic stress dji-RO-me The syllable in capitals carries the tonic stress: it is said more strongly than the others.
Say it « djirome » Spelled-out pronunciation: read this sequence of letters as if it were French, and you will say Girome. The final e is barely heard.
Phonetic alphabet [dʒiˈʁɔme] Transcription in the international phonetic alphabet, for those who can read it.
