Well, where I live "Ti" is very well pronounced "Tee", while "Tie" would be "Tei", "Tai" or anything like this. And with him being called "Tida" with an "ee" pronounciation it was no wonder he is called that. I also see no one calling Yuna "Yuhna" with the typical pronounciation for "u" like in "unknown" but also like I for example pronounce a "u" in my language, with an "oo"-sound. I also pronounce "Tina" "Teena" but "Tiny" "Tieny" I guess every language has another pronounciation for a word. In Germany "Sephiroth" is called "Sefffirrrottt" which is horrible.
Also Lightning is already an existing word and she is called Raitoningu, not Ritoningu so it was obvious what she is called like while Tidus is another allusion, to fit with Yuna'a name for day and night.
