E jumps over fence "P" and tackles O

E pressing 'Os face into the pavement - "Say yo' name O, say yo' name"

O crying - "O, my name is O!"

E slowly getting up, dusting off- "'At's right, You name's O, don't you neva fugget it"

Yes Suzy I know how to teach my future kids to read.  And yes, Latin will be their first language. 

And you are correct on the pronounciation. Except, this isn't English.  There is no "e" jumping over something in Latin.  In my years of Latin I never saw anything like that English equivalent. 

Geofish-  well this is going to be tough, but I'll do my best.  First of all, "ch" never appeared in Classic Latin.  It only came into play during the recent resurgence.  I pronounce the "ch" like a hard k.  As in kite.  However, in the world of birds, some people pronounce the ch like a sh as in the word shoulder.  I say those people are American, and using more American Slur.  For true prounciation (even though ch isn't true) I would use the k.  So I would say 
k-eye-Toe-More-fuh    That k-eye is said together not apart, but I thought it wrote better this way. 

I checked with my wife on the latin from before, and she said that although she reads and writes much better than I do, she thought I was better at pronounciation, so she didn't have advice.
