It's pronounced like "Milo," so yes. My mom got creative and gave it a more "German" spelling.

God, I love that most people are getting it right from the spelling. When people hear it they never spell it right, but most people read it correctly. (Except for around here, I've had more than enough teachers call me "Mee-low," and that shit is irritating. Damn you, Texas.)

I used to pronounce it May-low but then I heard Ryan pronouncing it My-low so. I assumed that was correct. It seems to be, so0o0o0o

Huh, first time I've ever gotten THAT particular pronunciation, but now that I think about it, that would be how the Chinese would say it. Now that I think even MORE about it, that was what my Chinese teacher used to call me, but I didn't think about it because he gave all of us Chinese names anyway. I was Mei-luo (pronounced may-lwoh). *shrug*

yeah, my reasoning is the same as coldmero's...but not because of HER nickname, not mine.

May low. This is because people used to call me Mei and people still kind of do, and it's pronounced 'may'. Do I win?

And I am totally excited for new fic!
