I’m French and most people know that oo is not “o.” Fou would have been the proper way to write it.
The “oo” in “foo” is written “ou” in French
Thus foo -> fou
“Feauxeaux” would be pronounced “fozo” (‘o’ as in “cold”)
Eaux in French is pronounced like o
So foo -> feauxeaux
Not really. Every programmer in France knows how to speak English, and foo is foo, not anything else.
