Name pronunciation


Are the following two words (last name "translated" to Japanese for context)
pronounced the same?

  * ミイヨ In this case the second syllable is the katakana equivalent of I.

  * ミーヨ In this case it is just a long vowel mark which is after ミ (Mi).

So, will they sound the same?

**EDIT** : Question changed to not to make it about a translation.




If it’s pronounced like Spanish, I would suggest either one of ミーヨ, ミージョ, and
ミーリョ depending on how you want the double-L part to be rendered.

If it’s pronounced the French way with stress on the last syllable, Japanese
speakers might hear it as ミヨ or even ミヨー rather than ミーヨ.

ミイヨ is cute, though.
