Pues supongo que Viveka se refiere al hecho de que pueden ser para hombre o para mujer... José María suele ser de hombre (que yo sepa) y María José de mujer, pero creo que en español, René, puede ser de hombre o de mujer (no como en francés, creo, donde me parace que añaden otra 'e' para hacerlo femenino?)

El ejemplo más claro creo que es con María, en España tenemos a Ramón María del Valle Inclán (¡cráneo privilegiado!) pero supongo que son usos menos conocidos o populares en España...

Sí, pero no he conocido ningún hombre llamado simplemente "María" . Sólo conozco un René y es hombre. Joan es Juan en catalán, no conozco Joan en castellano, porque sería Juana. Guadalupes y Cármenes las que quieras, pero todas mujeres. El único nombre unisex que se me ocurre es Buenaventura.

Cierto, a mí me suena algún Guadalupe macho... pero puedo haber oído campanos y no saber por donde...

Mi invención "spoonerista" de los géneros "masmenino" y "feculino" de cuando era niño, sin embargo, posiblemente se ha hecho ya realidad... sólo falta los números "plugular" y "sinral", la quintaesencia de la paradoja...

Bromas a un lado, a ver qué nos dice Viveka, o Chileno, Angélica, Ookami... etc., for that matter...

(Por cierto, conocí a un tal Amor Sánchez, masculino, y supongo que habrá por ahí alguna Amor García femenina...) (Sí he conocido Esperanzas... pero no "Esperanzos"...)

You're welcome. Thank you for your compliments.

You can try to answer the questions people had for you, and/or you can ask us any question you may have regarding Spanish.

You can tell us how to pronounce your name...
Or you can start a thread about a subject you are interested in.
The key is that you start practicing and learning while you have fun...
Enjoy your stay in the forums... ¡Diviértete!

Always you use slang into of the English language.
I'd like to know many pronouns for me.

May you teach me many forms?

Thank you, I'll be grateful with your support.

Naija, please try to write in standard English. Writing in slang can be confusing to non native English speakers and in some cases native English speakers. If you cannot write properly in Spanish that is ok but try to keep the English as standard as possible. Try to write in slang if you are teaching the non native English speakers. Thank you.
