A couple of interesting points from the naming conventions are "(t)hough followed by an apostrophe, the tribe sound is usually flows into the name" (sic) and "(t)he extra aitches we see in names such as “Bhee,” “Kuzh,” and “Pahsh” represent a slight hissing/spitting sound that is made when the name is pronounced by the cat-like Miqo’te. Many of the other races in Eorzea cannot accurately reproduce this sound, so the aitches end up going silent when read (Bee, Kooz, Pash)."

So, while you can definitely place the aitches and have your name pronounced however you like, "M'isha" would typically be pronounced "MEE-sa", perhaps with a soft hiss between the s and the a when pronounced by miqo'te.

The complexities of all of this are why L'yhta has a "hyurified" name she uses with non-miqo'te. Smile
