Pretty close, but the vowel sound is slightly different. The word 'me' would be prounounced /mi:/ by an American [1] but the name My is prounounced /my/ in Swedish. It's the close front rounded vowel [2], the same vowel sound that is usually represented with ü in German. Apparently, this sound is produced by people speaking with a Scottish accent, when they way "few".
