Also, as USCP mentioned, My Hime is the official english name given to the show, as proven by the website. On that note, try have a fit when Bandai releases Mai Otome as "My ZHime"... (though that probably won't happen... maybe. )

Call it Mai HiME? Using the 舞 kanji would be bad for business but there's nothing wrong with using a simple romanisation. I don't agree with leaving it as 舞-HiME, that just wouldn't work. Sure the site's address says My-HiME, but it's constantly written out using that kanji that doesn't mean "my" at all. Oh well, so long as it's the same series I'll buy it.
If they call it My ZHiME... ugh, I don't even want to think about that one
