unisex names

[vontez]

Does anyone ever feel a name is masculine or feminine, and you assume that they are male or female, only to find out later they are the opposite of what you assume? God, I always feel like such a dumbass. This happens to me about every week too...I need to learn to LOOK PERSON first. lol.

[Asha]

Shimmerain.
Enough said. ::hiss::

[Hips]

For some reason, people keep thinking Michiko is a guy. :(

[Jolena]

Well then they can't have seen her hips.

:flees:

[Hulkein]

For a second I thought you wrote lips...

[Czeska]

Might have something to do with a lot of names ending in O for males and A for females in some languages (ie, Mario/Maria).

[Drew]

When I used to play Kanyda a lot I got mistaken for a woman quite often.

[Jorddyn]

Jorddyn was called sir more times than I can count. I tried shorter skirts. It didn't work.

Jorddyn

[Hulkein]

That's because the shorter the skirt, the more your dangling unit was visible.

[Satira]

Anymore if I interact with someone in a room, I look at them. (mostly to see what their wearing)

Before I look I usually guess and I'm wrong pretty frequently. I just saw Innosent in TSC and figured it'd be a girl... but no, it's a boy!

[Shari]

"Anymore if I interact with someone in a room, I look at them. (mostly to see what their wearing)"

Yeah, that.

I screw up on that a lot. I try to make sure all my girls have femanine-sounding names so the same thing doesn't happen to me.

[Medri]

That's because the shorter the skirt, the more your dangling unit was visible.

:rofl:

[Necromancer]

I try to remind myself to LOOK just so I can figure out their race. To me, that's the bigger issue. But my main character is fairly preoccupied with race

[CrystalTears]

Way to dodge the gender topic to talk of race, since no one really knows what gender your character is. :tongue:

[Merala]

When I first came into Gemstone 4 years ago, I misread and called Vif, Great Lord Vif. I was like all excited cause I'd never seen someone with that many trains...

Then, I was embarassed, now I laugh. Vif sucks!

[Latrinsorm]

since no one really knows what gender your character is.Yeah we do.

To be (more) on-topic, I suddenly feel a tinge of remorse for the hips comment that I just posted. Giggling is a sign of remorse, right?

[Stanley Burrell]

My character addresses all adventurers as if they bore male genitals, as well as inanimate objects, but whatever.

[Augie]

Heh I've had Augie called sir or m'lord a lot of times before. I just chock it up to her bein so pint-sized that people forget to look down.
