    I personally like the sound of "rill" without any particular reason which apparently means small river(or brook). for person's name, it seems like there is "rilla" and according to the website i looked up, its origin is german and means small brook. also, the website says there are also variations of this, and they are Rella, Rilletta and Rillette other suggestions from the web that sounds like it were Raella, Raula, Rayla, Ria, Riley, Rilee and Reilly.

    They are basically saying the same thing, but the first one is using 謙譲語(one type of 敬語). As the person above says, the first one is used by a company employee like when someone from outside calls to 課長, and they will answer like that. The second one is the expression of exact same meaning without 敬語。 This is probably not important, but I think they say more like 戻っておりませんinstead of 帰っておりません。
