No sorry, for the rest of DD's life people will say it with a comedy French accent and I would end up killing someone

i think it is common enough for the pronounciation not to be an issue.. I have known about 6 or 7 in my 19 years in UK

I'm not mad keen, but I was reading a piece in today's Guardian by the writer Reina James (Sid James's daughter) and I thought that I quite like that, in a jewish-auntie Sadie kind of way.

'Walk Away Renee' is a great song though. Always important to have a great song
