Maybe, maybe not. ;)
If you care to use it in your UTF-8 nodelist, you can be my guest.

In a generationally, verbally, and handwritten passed down sense,
yes, but my birth certificate (done with a typewriter at the time)
doesn`t reflect it, the government doesn`t send tax bills to it, and US
keyboard layouts don`t include a key for it, so it has always been a pain
to type it that way (ALT-235 on Windows, or something like CTRL-SHIFT-U
then type 00EB on Linux).
Even actually using it in the past when filling out forms by hand,
it doesn`t go very far since others won`t go out of their way to
write or type it that way. Made me give up on it at a young age. My
wife and kids, while they know about it, don`t use it, and I have had
no living family left outside of our household that actually spelled it
that way for quite some time now.
As for Ward`s concern, if I were to be somehow distantly related
to the family with the same name in Belgium, I`m not so sure I would
want to associate myself with someone that sued their way into royalty,
either. ;)
Regards,
Nick
