How do you ask someone to spell their name in french?

Here are a few ways to ask someone to spell their name in French, depending on the formality:

Formal:

* Pourriez-vous épeler votre nom, s'il vous plaît ? (Could you spell your name, please?)

* Pourriez-vous me dicter l'orthographe de votre nom ? (Could you dictate the spelling of your name?)

Informal:

* Peux-tu épeler ton nom ? (Can you spell your name?)

* Comment s'écrit ton nom ? (How do you spell your name?)

More specific:

* Comment s'orthographie votre prénom ? (How do you spell your first name?)

* Comment s'orthographie votre nom de famille ? (How do you spell your last name?)

Note:

* The French word for "spell" is "épeler."

* "S'il vous plaît" is polite and is used in formal situations.

* "Ton" is used when addressing someone informally (like a friend). "Votre" is used for someone you don't know well.

You can choose the phrase that best suits the context and your relationship with the person.
