Mily
Baby girl, mother French, father English. do you reckon it's a strange spelling of Milly/Millie or is it a French name?
Haven't spoken to them yet, have only seen baby's name on emails.

I'd assume it was Milly with one L, to rhyme with Lily.

I don;t think it's French, and I do think it would be pronounced Meely

French pronunciation doesn;t do the "my" sound much

E.g. we would probably pronounce "Milo" as "Mylo" but in France it would be "Meelo".
