TombRaider argument

hello everyone...

can anyone here who is sure of how to pronounce the word : TOMBRAIDER tell me the exact pronunciation... I know that you might see that it doesn't deserve asking about , but there has been an argument about this matter,

I pronounce it as the following : I pronounce tomb as ''tu:m'' which is by making the O a bit longer and ignoring the B,
and I pronounce raider s '' 'reIde(r)''

according to the same pronunciation as taught by the Oxford Advanced English Dictionary 7th Edition, but some people say that am mistaken so I only wanted to check with people whom their native language is English to end this argument, since the people who were against me might be right since names may have different pronunciation rules ...

any help with that if you are sure ???

Say tomb like "toom". And raider like... raider, or rayder. "Toom-raider" is what you end up with.

Tomb like doom
Raider like Hater.

Raider obviously only has one pronunciation. I don't see how that could ever be mispronounced. Tomb however is one of those that different people say slightly different. I believe the proper way to say it is "toom" though, thats how I say it.
