Can my son's name have an Accent mark?

Favorite Answer

I like the name it's very cool and unique. Only use the accent mark if it's needed for spelling for pronunciation. An acute accent can only be used on an E in french it says that on this page. i wouldn't use an accent. Please look at these and explore these pages. http://french.about.com/od/pronunciation/a/accents.htm

Well, I do know french. I would suggest not using it unless you are around an at least slightly French community. In French, it's an Accent Aigu. Plus, even with the accent it wouldn't be pronounced exactly how you want it to be. It would be better to ditch the accent and spell it DonViair instead. Probably shouldn't use a name with accents you don't understand....Show more

Please, don't try and place an accent mark if you don't speak, are not, or no nothing about french, especially when creating your own name. And, even if you did that, I'm sorry but you'd be laughed at by French people because that makes no sense if you put it there, especially with the spelling of the name (it wouldn't be present in a French word or name).

I'm sorry if this makes no sense, but bottom line, don't throw an accent in there- it will make you look foolish....Show more

In french that is known as the accent agu. There are many people with an accent agu in their name....Show more

I reccomend Paul though or if you're that obssesed with making your baby have an 'intresting' name, then name it Trogdor or something. Also you could move to France or Quebec.


p.s. When was the last time you met a Paul? Its a less common name than you think....Show more
