This title has currently "Konnichiha", however the "ha" is a Japanese particle, and as a particle should be romanised "wa", so [b]"Konnichiwa"[/b]. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_particles#wa .
The previous discussion was bad info and was contrasting written forms not romanised forms.

Ok, the problem is that it isn't "Konnichiha" nor "Konnichiwa", but "Konnichi wa" (spaced), "wa" being an enphatic end of phrase particle, so "wa" romanization has to be used.

I am Japanese.
We use a word "konnichiwa" as a greeting. And, the meaning is "Hello".
(An actual pronunciation is "konnichiwa" though the spelling is "ko n ni chi ha" with hiragana.)
When writing "konnichi wa" It means a part of different sentences.
"Konnichiwa Akachan" means "Hello, Baby." but "Konnichi wa Akachan" means "Today is Baby." or "Recently, it is a baby.".
So, I think "Konnichiwa Akachan" is right.
