I would love a completely definitive pronunciation of the name ‘Manon’ as it would be pronounced in France.

Here you have Manon pronounced by native French speakers. The first pronunciation is better (and clearer):

I write it about "Meh-noh"
It's spoken at about 30 seconds here:

I'm not sure how to transcribe it, but the -on sound is a nasal one where the n isn't entirely pronounced (but not omitted either). Don't know if that makes sense as an explaination. The a is an open a sound like "hat" and the stress is on the last syllable, as always in French.
