I need help with a French boy name. The name is Gaeton (sounds
like Gaton with a long a). What is the correct spelling of this
name? Is is GAETON? I know and like the name but can't seem to
get a confirmation on the spelling.
Help!

I believe what you are looking for is Gaetan.
the ae diphthong is a long a (and not like � which is long e)
the second a is just a short a
pronounced as Gay-tan with equal emphasis on both syllables, not
allowing the tan to fall away.
Hope this helps,
Stuart

Yes, it certainly helps. I really like that name for a middle name
but NO ONE was able to help me.
I was close, but we didn't want to settle for a "close enough" spelling
for our child's name.
Thanks very much.
