Did you know?
- In some contexts, the name ミリー could be confused with the Japanese word ミリ, which means 'millimeter'.
- In Japanese, there is no 'L' sound, so ミリー is pronounced with a flick of the tongue that is a hybrid between an English 'L' and 'R'.
- A person might use the diminutive suffix ちゃん instead of さん when addressing a child or a very close friend named Milly, making it ミリーちゃん.
