| | Posted: | | | | I have 3 profiles with Freddy Rodríguez and 2 with Freddy Rodriguez, which one is the correct one?  Searching on the net gives both names so no solution there. IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0135585/ is the actor i mean. | | |

but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: 'WOW What a Ride!!! |

| | Posted: | | | | They are both technically correct. As to which one is the more "common name"? | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | I'd use Freddy Rodríguez. As with all diacritical marks, we've come to expect that a number of credits will omit these, so it's no surprise that he's credited without it a number of times. But there are enough credits using the í to convince me to use it in his common name. |

Not always true...
"Penélope Cruz" is credited in the following 146 titles (427 profiles)
"Penelope Cruz" is credited in the following 55 titles (94 profiles) Possibly Enry. But have you actually viewed the credits of the 146 titles to see if she is actually credited with a diacritical?  | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

"Penelope Cruz" is credited in the following 55 titles (94 profiles) Maybe I'm just more tired than usual, but doesn't this example actually confirm T!M's statement? If her name is "Penélope Cruz" we can expect a number of credits as "Penelope Cruz" - just like your example shows? With my name containing the character "ø" I am used to this myself as I live in a country where "ø" doesn't exist.  | | | Regards
