What do you guys think of names with accents, such as Tomàs ('Toe-mas') or Simón ('See-mon' not 'sigh-men')? The reason I ask is I've never seen accents on formal paperwork, but maybe that's because I'm in the USA. So, it seems almost unfair to give a child a name with an accent if it will always be "misspelled" but I guess it depends on how much it upsets the parents in the beginning and the child later on.

Or maybe I'm wrong? Do schools, and other paperwork include accents?
