    i just looked up the japanese pronounciation and it seems like the apostrophe from Miqo'te
    makes the "o" short and a double tt:

    ミコッテ - Mi-Ko-t-te

    Tecnically speaking, the little tsu ( ッ ) doesn't exactly mean doubling the next sound. It's more like of a quick stop, a brief moment where you don't speak, just block your mouth and breath altogether. The double sound is the consequence of the air from your lungs pressing to get out.
    You can find the ッ even at the end of words, often in comics, and it means that a character has suddenly stopped talking.

    So yes, in this case, the ッ is pretty much there because of the pause between miqo and te, due to the apostrophe. Same effect, slightly different explanation.
