René is the masculine form, Renée is the feminine form. If you don't know the rule, it's the same as with fiancé/fiancée; one "e" on the end is masculine and two is feminine. A girl named René would probably get weird looks if she ever traveled to a French-speaking area.

I think French-speaking people have far better things to do with their time than give a foreign girl named Rene "weird looks". Despite living in Scotland where Mc- and Mac- surnames are hugely popular, accounting for about a quarter of surnames, if I met an American girl named McKayla I wouldn't give her a "weird look". I'd know fine well it was a cultural difference. I might not like McKayla - indeed I don't - but it wouldn't baffle me and it certainly wouldn't cause me to be rude and give someone a strange look.
