how do you spell this name?

i know a guy named carrie, but i was wondering if you really spell it like that? When it’s a guy’s name is it spelled differently?

How do you use apostrophes when you are doing quotes in quotes?

Let’s say that I’m quoting something in which someone says something and nothing else. For example, "Did you find what you were looking for?". Would I have to use the single apostrophes as well as the doubles? As in: "’Did you find what you were looking for?’" or do i just need one pair of double apostrophes as in the first example?
