Are you stressed out right before you pick up the phone? You need a little tip to spell a word, an address or anything else while speaking with a French correspondant? Look no further! Below is the list of the alphabet letters and the French names (ok, excepted Irma, Raoul, William, etc.) French speakers commonly use when they spell a word to someone (e.g. "Madame GUS. G comme Gaston, U comme Ursule, S comme Suzanne") / when they want to avoid mistakes writing something they are being spelled (e.g. "Hein?! T comme Thérèse ou P comme Pierre?").
Letter | Name | Letter | Name |
A | Anatole | N | Nicolas |
B | Berthe | O | Oscar |
C | Célestin | P | Pierre |
D | Désiré | Q | Quintal |
E | Eugène | R | Raoul |
F | François | S | Suzanne |
G | Gaston | T | Thérèse |
H | Henri | U | Ursule |
I | Irma | V | Victor |
J | Joseph | W | William |
K | Kléber | X | Xavier |
L | Louis | Y | Yvonne |
M | Marcel | Z | Zoé |
