Reply To: Final-Letter Group Signs
Sorry for the delay in responding - I missed this post somehow.
I would say yes.
The rules for 'ance' say to use the final-letter groupsign when the letters it represents follow a letter, a contraction, a modified letter or a ligatured letter unless other rules limit its use...I could not find any rules that limit its use. On page 123, there is an example of the name Frances - and the 'ance' is used there.
