Although it is not written in standard Japanese orthography, mimi (ears) and Mimi (name) have different pitch accents in Japanese. Mimi (ears) has a Low to High pitch, while Mimi (name) has a High-High pitch. I have seen many Japanese learners who complain that their "perfect" Japanese is not understood by the natives when in reality their Japanese is simply skewed and broken as much as their glasses...
tl;dr: Pitch Accent is Important!!
