the name I am thinking about using is not pronounced the way it is written.( its not an english name)

I am thinking about putting an ` over the e which may help. but that is not the way it is supposed to be...should I change it just so its easier for english speakers or just keep the name and accept that the child will always be correcting people.

Is the name Dev ? ( blatantly curious!)

No, I wouldn't. People will just ignore the accent (both in writing and speaking) or won't know what it denotes anyway.

Depends what it is. Probably not, if it isn't supposed to be there.
