I'm with Sent. Miledy sounds more right than Miredy. It has nothing to do with a knowledge of the Japanese language and everything to do with common sense and which words sound better. Fire Emblem is in a Western setting and so a lot of the names are going to be western. Miledy sounds like a viable and pronounceable name in English but Miredy doesn't even come out right in Japanese. It doesn't roll off the tongue and it's one of those names that it's just obvious that its' meant to be an L.

Fir, on the other hand, is definitely Fir, not Fil. Fil is stupid.

I wouldn't take the official art as word; Oujay does sound a heck of a lot better than "Ogier."

I took "R=L in japanese" the wrong way, I suppose.

I personally don't see Miledy as any more of a name than Miredy, and I find it awkward to have someone essentially named "My lady." While names like Lalum would be kind of silly with r's (Raram x_o), I don't think it really matters so much in Miledy/Miredy's case.

There are also some names/words are written in katakana, irregardless of whether they're Japanese-originated or not. It's a style thing, I presume.

EDIT: FEP refuses to allow me to vote :(

You need to not be a newbie, IIRC.

Oh yeah, my question actually never got answered. Luke, why are YOU calling her Miredy? Its like all the sudden, one day, you decided it would be cooler to stop calling her Miledy like you had been forever, and go to Miredy. :richie:

Yes for some reason they don't seem to use L in it. You can actually learn Hirogana and Katakana pretty quickly. I did in a couple of months. They actually say Raraa and they do not seem to use the M in her name either.
