Auréa and Aiven are beautiful! Where do they come from?
Auréa and Aiven...
Auréa (or-RAY-uh) is a shortening/nn/derived from Aurelia.
And Aiven is from an Irish Gaelic name, but the spelling is anglicized. I can't remember the original spelling though. Sorry. LOL. I can't decide between Aiven, Aven and Ayven. I first saw it as Aven on another board. These parents wanted to name their son Aaron, but didn't know how to spell it. They spelled it Aren, but the 'r' looked like a 'v' so it ended up being Aven. They liked it so they kept it. The man is now in his seventies or eighties or something like that. I heard the story from a friend of the granddaughter. I LOVE this name.

Thanks!
The name it's Anglicized from is maybe Éimhín (AY-veen)? It could come from Aoibheann as well, I suppose. Either way, I really like it :-)

Several ways
The Character Map:
In Windows XP:
1. Go to start
2. Go to All Programs
3. Go to Accessories
4. Go to System Tools, if necessary
5. The Character Map should be in System Tools, but is occasionally in Accessories
Now you have all your accents laid out for you. Click on one, and note the keystroke for it (i.e., "é" is Alt+0233). If you have a number keypad (not just the numbers on top of your normal letter keypad), you can simply type the keystroke for your desired character to get your accent.
If, however, you don't have a number keypad, then you'll have to do it the long way around. That is, you'll have to cut and paste your accents individually. A quicker way is to type your fully accented word/name and cut/paste that.
In Word:
Word has a built-in character map that you can use instead of Windows's Character Map:
1. Go to Insert
2. Go to Symbol
3. Choose your symbol
4. If you want a special character, like an em dash or a copyright symbol, use the Special Characters tab
Also, you can program Word to automatically accent words (or names!) that you frequently use:
1. Go to Tools
2. Go to AutoCorrect
3. In the Replace box, type your unaccented word
4. Put your accented word in the With box
5. Click Add
6. If you're done, click OK
When programming names, I recommend kre8ivlee spelling some names that have both an unaccented form and an accented form. For example, I programmed Word to change Adelayde into the proper French form, Adélaïde; that way, Adelaide remains unchanged.
