The word you are looking for is HOMOPHONE (a homonym is one where the words are spelled the same but mean different things).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophone
plenty of examples here! (hear!)

Firstly, ACCEPT is pronounced with stress on "ac" and EXCEPT is pronounced with stress on "cept".
Secondly, "pronounce" is not a noun and you should have used "pronunciation" instead.
Etymology:
From Latin pronuntiatio, noun of action
from perfect passive participle pronuntiatus,
from verb pronuntiare proclaim,
from pro- for + nuntiare announce.

There are more than two ways to spell the word too, although many people constantly get it it wrong.
