    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.
    There are no diphthongs in pure Swedish words.

    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

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

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

    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.

    This how I usually pronounce them

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"
