Nard and Josh, you are both correct. It was created with an apostrophe.
M_E, you jump in making pronouncements without having all the facts, as usual.
My username was created by Rob Diamond well over a year ago. He used the single apostrophe because not everyone is able to create an é, displaying an accent égue. While it might appear to be an affectation to you, M_E, it was simple matter of convenience to Rob in deference to members.
(Having used a typewriter keyboard to type my name of a few years before PCs became common usage, I can also attest to the fact that the ' was always used in place of and accent égue because that was not possible with a standard English typewriter keyboard.)
