Ultimately, I tend to say "its how the software make the Vocaloid pronounce the name", as much of the time its spot on. There are some times it fails (Sonia can't even naturally say her name as its not in her dictionary, other times the wrong sound may be present in the vocal or updates) but for the most part... Its a solid gauge.

Excuse my ignorance on the matter, but so long as we now the Vocaloid is Meiko, the way its pronounced is moot.

While its nice to be able to pronounce the name correctly, bare in mind as a non-native speaker you likely aren't expected nor should it always be an issue if you get it wrong in front of other non-natives. I don't understand the excessive insistence some areas of the fandom that insist on it being 100% spot on. I met people from other countries who do not now how to say my own first name, therefore I do not expect them to say it and I've been called some funny things. Correcting them doesn't always resolve the issue nor does it ness. get anywhere as some get annoyed by you doing so.
