Or it could be {mi'e la .romajih. mu'o}, right?

Thank you.
(P.S. Would the equivalent of your sig be "me'i la romaji mu'o", or is there some Illegal combination of letters there?)
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
