Re: Renee vs Renée
in reply to a message by BBCakes
I prefer Renée, but if you are called Renée where I live it will be defaulted to Renee in a LOT of scenarios. I guess you could say Renee is a typo or a common mistake, but it's so common that most people view it as a legitimate variant rather than a mistake. It's normal for a name to have different spellings in different languages, even if it's the same pronunciations (although usually the pronunciation changes too, like Martin and Martín. But with Renée and Renee, the pronunciation is already different because of the R, so it's not even a case of "same pronunciation different spelling".)
