Surname Spelling

Forté or Forte? Where did we get the 'é' with the accent? His jersey, NFL.com, and Pro-Football Reference profile say 'Forte'. Even his official Twitter and Facebook feeds do not use the accent. Should the title of this page be changed? Discuss --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  22:14, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search of "Matt Forté‎" leads to suggesting if we meant Forte without the accent.

Ah! I looked at this page's first revision. Forte's bio on Tulane's website spells his last name 'Forté'. I assume this is what the article creator used. So this makes things interesting. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  00:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, so should we play the Google hit search game or something now?

Since ChicagoBears.com and NFL.com have him listed as "Forte", the best option should be to change the article's name to "Matt Forte" w/o the accent. Anyone opposed? --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  17:24, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So how about bringing the accent back? It's on his Jets jersey.
