Character name pronounciation guide

So over the years I've talked to a number of people who seem to have strange (to me) ideas on how to pronounce the characters' names in FFT. Because I'm bored, I figured it might be interesting to see how people around here pronounce the names:

Delita: I've heard this pronounced "Day-LEE-ta" and "Deh-LAI-ta." In my opinion, the former is correct because it conforms to Japanese pronouncation standards, but that doesn't always mean it's right (the main character of FFX's name would be pronounced "TEE-dus" in Japanese, but that's not how I pronounce it).

Wiegraf: Most people I've talked to pronounce this "WAI-grahf" (rhymes with "laugh"). Because it's a German name, I've always pronounced it, "WEE-graaf" (pronounce the vowel is the last syllable the same way you pronounce the first vowel in "mafia"). However, today my friend pointed out that if it's German, it really should be pronounced "VEE-graaf," so I think I'm gonna go with that from now on.

Miluda: "Mih-LOO-dah," "Mai-LOO-dah," or "Mee-LOO-dah?" I go with the latter for the same reason I gave on Delita above.

Dycedarg: I go with "DAI-cee-darg," but... man, this is one of the weirdest FF names I've ever run across.

Meliadoul: I used to say "Mel-AI-ih-dool." However, most of my friends go with, "MEL-ee-a-dool," and I've come to the conclusion that I like that pronounciation better.

Rofel: I say "Ro-FEL" rather than "ROF-el" because he isn't rolling on the floor laughing.

Zalera/Zarela: This isn't so much a pronounciation thing as it is that they spell it both ways in the game. I like Zalera better myself.

Ruvelia/Rugeria/Rubelia/however many other ways the game spells her name: I have no friggin' idea what her name is supposed to be. I just say, "The Queen of Ivalice." :-p

If there are any other confusing pronouncations, feel free to add them. Anybody agree/disagree with how I say these names?
