[Opinions] Re: Renee vs Renée
in reply to a message by BBCakes
Surely there must be some limits? Or would you insist on Shlomo rather than Solomon? And what about Beatrice: would you be OK with it, or might you insist on Viatrix? You're welcome to do so, of course, but others are equally welcome not to. The days of prescriptive grammar are gone.
I knew a Renee at school: her names were Suzanne Renee but she went by her mn and with that spelling. We called her RENay, and so did her mother, but her husband preferred reNAY and she didn't mind.
