Pronunciation of "Quina" and "Vivi"

Qui-na as in Qui(ck) + nu(t)

and vi vi as in veee veee

I pronounce Vivi "vee-vee" and Quina "queen-nah", that is, if I even want to pronounce Quina's name in an English style. The Finnish pronouncing way of Quina is pretty much the way Peter_20 said it. Vivi is pronounced "vee-vee" in Finnish.

The Swedish pronounciations would probably be ['vivi] and [ku'i:nA], though. :p
There are no diphthongs in pure Swedish words.

It's: Vee Vee

Vee-vee
Is how it's pronounced in KHII, but then again Tidus was pronounced incorrectly in that same game. I pronounce it Vee-Vee anyway.

As for Quina, I say
Kee-na

It's OBVIOUSLY pronounced "vie-vie." :D

Totally.

I say Vee-Vee and Quih-nuh

"Queen-a" and "vee-vee." They just seem more correct.

Vee-Vee and queen-a

I don't care if it's "correct" because that's what sounds right.

like quinoa!

Vee-Vee and Quee-na ("quee" like "queen", but I put the emphasis on the "quee" and the "na" is a separate syllable, unlike "queen-a" which put the emphasis on the "queen" sound).

I've always said it Vee-vee and Quee-na.
