Re: Renee
in reply to a message by Sara Ruth
When I was first exposed to Renee as a teenager, I LOVED it ... that is, until I kept encountering different spellings and was then turned off somewhat. (Renata, otoh, is still a shimmering jewel, sigh.) Anyway, between Renee and Renae, I definitely prefer the former and don't feel it needs an accent mark. It's also common enough that it doesn't seem quintessentially French.
