A good rule of thumb when it comes to pronouncing loan-words (especially of the internationally widely used greco-roman stock) is to stick as close as possible to the original ("native") pronunciation. In the case of paleo (and I curse the pervy English pronunciation of the vowel-letters, that always causes confusion when you try to translitterate) the best way would then be to pronounce it "pà-le-OH", with secondary stress and a slight grave (= "dropping") accent as indicated on the first syllable, short vowels in the first and second syllables, and a slightly longer o (this relative length stemming from the third syllable carrying the primary stress and the Germanic languages' inability to separate stress of tone from stress of length). And then it WOULD rhyme with tally-ho!

"Mensch, werde wesentlich! Denn wenn die Welt vergeht,
so fällt der Zufall weg; das Wesen, das besteht.
Viel haben macht nicht reich. Der ist ein reicher Mann,
der alles was er hat, ohn' Leid verlieren kann.
Freund, so du etwas bist, so bleib doch ja nicht stehn:
Man muß aus einem Lichte fort ins and're gehn."
        Angelus Silesius
