It'd be {mi'e}, but there's a technical problem with {romaji} as a name.
For morphology reasons with which you needn't be concerned yet, {romaji} is
actually {ro ma ji}, three cmavo. So it can't be a valid name.

The standard fix is to stick an arbitrary consonant onto the end. This
makes a cmevla (the same word class as {.skaip.}), which can only serve as
names. The most common choice is {s}, which would make your sig {mi'e la
.romajis. mu'o}.

mi'e la latro'a mu'o
