AYRT

Lol the name that threw me the most was Iroh. I read people talking about ATLA before I watched the show so when I first caught an episode and there was Airo I had no idea who the fuck he was or why no one ever talked about him in fandom.

omg it's true! The exact same thing happened to me. What the hell, it should have been "ee-roh". tbh I think my brain still pronounces it "eeroh" because I just can't turn "Iroh" into "airo", like you say.

I'm in the same boat as you, anon. I read ATLA wank before watching the show. The name that threw me though, was Sokka. In my brain I did indeed pronounce it "Soak-ah".

"Mai" is the worst to me. Spell it "Mei" or "May," damn it.

omg I totally agree, that really bugged me. Mae also an acceptable option. But spelling a name Mai and not pronouncing it "my" bugs me.

Mai just felt like spite. I know I've seen the name Mai in the US, and the only names pronounced otherwise are written as May or Mae (Englishy) or, of course, Mei. I don't know who would look at Mai and think it had anything other than a long I sound.

nayrt but if you speak English then you know for a fact that English does not always use "Latin" pronunciation of vowels. Vowels are allowed to be long or short in English depending on the word, so "Mai" is a perfectly acceptable spelling.
