[Facts] Re: Male Or Female
in reply to a message by Amara
Yes, sometimes there can be same-sounding names which are masculine in certain parts of the world but feminine elsewhere. An example would Joan, which is feminine in English but masculine in Dutch and Catalan. And, of course, there are many names which are unisex in their country of origin, such as Hikaru in Japanese. Where are your friends from? Have you asked them about their names?
