From what I've seen its "ミライ小町" (Mirai Komachi), however its hard to tell the surname and first name as both are written in Kantana and neither are written in Kanji. This is fairly modern, done to avoid Kanji confusions since Kanji can be translated into a variety of ways and not always good, but usually the surname is left as Kanji. If you want an example of this, the Black Rock Shooter anime touched upon this very issue. Its odd still to see it as its not been much touched upon in Vocaloid and usually I've only ever seen it myself in manga and anime.

There is confusion because Damekuken highlighted that both names are female given names, and its not easy to tell if the name is written in Japanese or Western style with surname first and given name second, or given name first and surname second. The name is odd to natives for this reason.

If Mirai is the surname, then Komachi is the given name and that's what we're been told by her devs to call her. But is Mirai is not the surname, then we've been told to call her by her surname which is very informal. As it stands, because of the issues note, one simply can't tell what the case is.
