In French, adjectives have different endings depending on whether the noun is male or female. The French for "born" is spelled née if it refers to a woman, but if referring to a man. This needs correcting for:

DOC SAMSON/DR. LEONARD SAMSON (nee SKIVORSKI)
DOCTOR ROT/ALGERNON J. ROTTWELL (nee BENTLEY NEWTON)
ERSKINE, PROF. JACOB (nee PAXTON)
VAN HELSING, NOAH (nee NOAH TREMAYNE)
ASTRO, MAJ. VANCE (nee ASTROVIK) | 31ST CENTURY (Killraven Mythos)
MAJOR VICTORY/MAJ. VANCE ASTRO (nee ASTROVIK) | 31ST CENTURY (Killraven Mythos)
BLOB II/THEODORE ALLEN (nee DUKES) (Ultimate Universe)
HUDSON, JIMMY (nee HOWLETT) (Ultimate Universe)
O'MEAGAN, ALFIE (nee DOE) | EARTH-8908 (Numbered Alternate Universes 0-10000)

(Or you could just use "born".)

JONES, JESSICA (nee CAMBELL) should be CAMPBELL.

In the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Daredevil 2004, Jessica's surname is spelled CAMPBELL, but throughout the run of Alias it was spelled CAMBELL.
Out in the Land Down-Under, beneath a rocky outcrop, deep within the back paddock, dwells the Stray Lamb.
