ya, ile is French for 'island' and Montreal is composed of a series of islands so you see the word 'ile' prefixing the names of a lot of neighbourhoods. When the first letter is capitalized, it looks confusing next to the second letter: Ile versus ile...
When I'm in Mtl I also get very confused with the directions of the streets, because, compared to Toronto which is arranged north/south, east /west, montreal is nnw/sse etc. But you're lucky if you get to visit your girlfriend, because Mtl is one of the most beautiful cities in the world...
