Yes, you can spell it out using Spanish letters. They would be sure to get your name right that way.

Mi nombre es "O'Toole" [say it as you pronounce it in English]. Se escribe: o, apóstrofe, te, doble o, ele, e. "Oto-ole" [pronounced in Spanish].

Thanks it was the apostrophe I was looking for also noticed that you can also have apóstrofo. Does this mean that surnames are feminine?

No, it wouldn't mean that at all.
"Apóstrofe" and "apóstrofo" are two different words. My teachers always said "apóstrofe", so I learnt this mistake. Sorry. The correct word for talking about the spelling symbol is "apóstrofo".
