When I first joined Hatrack I thought Shan was a guy (because she posted on the other side and I assumed she was named after the Ender's Game character). [Embarrassed]

A lot of people also assumed I'm a girl. Can't blame them, since Vwiggin is short for Valentine Wiggin. I changed my name to Beren One Hand, but that just invited a lot of onanism jokes.

Does anyone else here feel they have a misleading name on hatrack?

vwiggin I have to say that in my mind you were female.

I'm pretty sure I was "status unknown" but then most people are, that was sorted out rather quickly though.

KarlEd called me a "he" the other day. One other person in the past assumed I was a guy. Oh, and when I started posting as "Trisha the Severe Hottie" everyone thought I was Pat, Nathan, or Jonathon. I mean, nothing like adopting a very unambiguous name to get people guessing the wrong gender.

My name should be unambiguous enough for anyone who knows who and what the original "Verily" was. Of course, sometimes it seems like the most unambiguous names are the most misleading. So just in case anyone still isn't sure, I'll clarify that yes, I am a guy.

I'm often thought to be female, I'm not sure if that's because of my rather non-partisan name (so to speak) or if it's related to the fact that half of my high school thought I was gay. I'm niether, just so you know. [Razz] [Wink]

I'd say assuming female is actually the safe standard in this type of forum, for it is in general demographically populated more heavily by females. At least from what I know, which is nothing but a speck.

Well, I know about the fact that Demosthenes was a man (obviously), but I would never call any poor, unsuspecting boy 'Valentine', so in my mind it is a girl's name.

Also, "Reiko" is sort of non-gendered, so coupled together...

Actually come to think of it I'd probably never give anyone the name Valentine. Hm.

Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
 
To me, any name that looks Japanese and ends in "-ko" will always look like a girl's name. Not that there aren't other possible origins for a name like "Reiko". I guess Japanese is just my default setting. [Big Grin]

You know, beverly, I thought that my name was pretty obviously masculine.

Yeah, this is kinda the wrong century to just assume that the average person is going to speak Latin. These days people can't even write "i.e." or "e.g." without mixing them up. A thundering lot of people online abbreviate "et cetera" as "ect.", for heaven's sake. What the deuce do they imagine that stands for? And you expect them to know what "ea" and "quae" mean?

Female here (don't much care about girl vs. woman). I guess the name is somewhat ambiguous, but referencing my husband a few times early in my so-far-very-brief posting career removed any doubt anyone might have had.

This is the only one I find debatable.
 
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
 
I am not saying all men are allergic to cuddling (I'm not). I'm saying if you are, they you are a Man.
 
Posted by Tammy (Member # 4119) on :
 
And I'm saying that some women have been found to be allergic to cuddling. [Smile]
 
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
 
Ok, ok.

I'll change #1.

1) Look in your closet. If you have more than 5 pairs of shows, that are not ratty and torn--not a man.

Okay, you're good to go.

I would also debate the

Fire Fun! Man.

After years of Girl Scouts and camping, I have been able to make quite pretty fires, and enjoy it.
 
Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :
 
The fact that you refer to your fires as "pretty" says all that needs to be said.
 
Posted by Tammy (Member # 4119) on :
 
But, zgator, fire is pretty.

I'm going to have to go re-set my worldview. Honestly. I've never doubted for a moment that you were male.

Weird.

I'm going to have to go with Tammy on this one. Fire is pretty. And I'm a guy.

I'm all woman, baby. It's just that my second X chromosome is a little stunted.

Oh my God...that list is obviously a joke.

Anyway, it should be perfectly clear to everyone what my gender is from my name ^^.

Lol. Tell that to my parents. My mom hates stopping to ask for directions. My dad is always the one who does.

I've heard of studies that indicated that women are actually less likely, on average, to ask for directions. But who knows?

I would dispute some of the items (I hate the Three Stooges, I don't find bodily noises amusing, and I have no problems with cuddling, for example), but I suppose it never said that each item applies to all men. More like if this does apply to you, then you are a man. In which case, I know girls who could dispute some of them. But none of them are here.

Or maybe my lack of compliance with half the list can be attributed to the fact that I'm actually half woman. (See, my mother's a woman, but my father's not, so that would make me half. Right?)

I like that reasoning. [Smile]

Ummm......looks at SN. OK, so maybe I'm just an older, taller, boy. A 24 yo child. I don't care. [Razz]

Considering my screen name, my gender should be fairly obvious.

*stops and thinks*

On the other hand, I've know a couple of drag queens who (whom?) this name would fit quite well. They're the ones I learned to throw attitude from in the first place. I figure, if you're going to learn, learn from the best. [Big Grin]
