At first I thought Mia was pronounced (my-ah) as for Maya (May-ah)
However, alot of people are telling me that Mia is actually pronounced (mee-uh) as Maya is pronouced (my-ah)
I am so confused!!

I guess the fact that the names are close is a ppun on the fac that... they are sisters. And Maya summoning Mia.

For the most part, I find that using Spanish vowel pronunciation is used a lot in names, so I stick with that.
A: ah
E: eh
I: ee
O: Shortened 'Oh'
U: oo
The Japanese also pronounce their vowels this way. Although I is occasionally shortened.

Most Germanic (sans English, and it's partly romanic) and Finno-Hungarian language speakers pronounce it that way. And what's annoying, English people tend to mispronounce my real name Ida, which is pronounced Ee-dah, not Ai-dah.
Therefore, I always response "It's EE-DAH, goddamnit!"
(though ai da would be "it's love" on Japanese, so I'm thinking about not minding about it...
) So yeah, I pronounce Mia "Mee-ah".

...According to Square-Enix, it's pronounced "Tii-da."
As for Phoenix Wright names, I've known both a Mia and a Maya. Mia pronounced her name "Mii-ah" and Maya was "My-ah."

That's because KH is weird and has Wakka says in KH "Me and Tee-dus" and then in KH II, Selphie in KH says "Ty-dus and Wakka...". JUST TO CONFUSE PEOPLE. D<
I just call him Tee-dus because that's what all the VAs call him in the bonus disc-thing ("Beyond Final Fantasy" maybe?) I got with the game.
Mia was always Mee-ah, but I called Maya May-ah for a while before Zizzo corrected me. So now she's My-ah.
I called Juan "Joo-an" for a while as well. God, I'm so uncultured >.>

Although I have to say, I pronounce Emma and Ema the same way. My grandmother's name was written as Jenifer instead of Jennifer but that didn't mean the pronunciation changed.

That's because it's a French name, and the "t" at the end is dropped, making it sound like a hanging "oh" sound. I should know: my friend's got a great-grandfather with "Godot" as part of his name.
