(last post: March 24, 2008 - 14:06) | The name of Robidou is a pejorative diminutive of Robert and is traced back to the 13th century in Tintiniac, France, where last names were taken or given based on where the family was living :)
so yr talossan name would be: Davïu Rôibeardét

(last post: March 14, 2008 - 13:42) | Thank you so much Ian. I didn't really know that about my surname, it's useful information to me. How do I get the little signs above the letters? I tired using the Talossan Characters chart but, no dice. Can somebody help?

If you're using a Windows PC, there are a few ways to do it. (If you're using anything else, I don't know enough to help you.)
1) You can use the Alt-key and the numeric keypad. In each case, hold down the Alt-key while typing the four digits on the keypad. You have to use the keypad, not the numbers above the keyboard -- oh, and make sure NumLock is on:
ï = Alt+0239
ô = Alt+0244
é = Alt+0233
The complete list of Alt-codes needed to type in Talossan can be found here.
2) You can use Windows' "Character Map" application. It should be under Programs / Accessories / System Tools.
3) If you have a recent version of Microsoft Word, say "Word 2000" or later, there are built-in keyboard shortcuts you can use:
ï = Ctrl-: followed by i
ô = Ctrl-^ followed by o
é = Ctrl-' followed by e
The complete list of Word shortcuts is on the same page as the Alt-codes.
4) You can download a separate piece of software like FrKeys or Quick Key. I've been playing with Quick Key and so far I like it. In fact, I built two new charsets, one for Talossan and one for Esperanto, which I sent to the author of the software; he's indicated he hopes to include them with the next release. Quick Key is free and can be downloaded from here.
