I definitely like the Maria in there.

While I feel a little guilty to throw another name into the mix, I was always intrigued by male Italian names that sound quite feminine to me, like Emanuele. Emanuele Maria O’Conner, how does that sound?

A bit too elegant… it must be more crude… it wouldn’t fit the character, who is a rough demented (undead) person.

Jorma O’Connor.  
A perfectly sound and strong Finnish name, which today means “a cock”. And I don’t mean the rooster.  
I’m sure other languages have the same, like “Stojko O’Connor”.

I was thinking the name **Jorma** was derived from **George** , which commonly is translated as **Yrjö**. Which in turn means **barf** , like in _to vomit_. But it wasn’t… But anyway, **Yrjö O’Connor** would be a solid Irish name…

Well, yeah, Thanks for giving me the opportunity for a brand new OT.

I’m quite surprised you say that the name Emanuele sound feminine. As far as I remember, you’re german. You have the same name, Immanuel, which is a male name. It immediately reminds of Immanuel Kant. I haven’t check closely, but he didn’t seem a girl to me. 🙂 And I think its female counterpart, Immanuelle, is much less common, so the sound of this name shouldn’t appear feminine.

Anyway, I remember having such a conversation with a stranger girl, once. She said something like “I don’t understand why in Italy you have feminine names for males”.  
Me: “example?”  
She: “Andrea”.  
Me: “Is Andrea a feminine name?”  
She: “it is”  
Me: “please, do note that Andrea comes from the ancient greek ‘andros’…”  
She: “I don’t speak ancient greek”.  
Me: “Ok, but you know what an andrologist is, do you?”

This would have been a great last word.  
But she was cleverer than me.

She: “Yeah, but ‘Andrea’ terminates with an ‘A’.”

Now would you excuse me, I have to go. I’m tired, my high heels are killing me.

But isn’t this the “problem”? Each nation has its own “name rules”. For example in Germany the name Andrea is used mostly for women while in Italy it is also common for men.

So if you pick a name for a character in the game you have to consider this. If seguso is going to name a character “Andrea” some players from Germany could be confused. (Ok, Ok, not with “Andrea” because we know that’s also a male name, but you know what I mean. 😉 ) .

Incidentally, my own name is a valid female name in parts of the world, and I would not rule out that women with that name can be found in Germany also. That said, there’s a certain _feel_ to local names that usually makes them distinctively male or female, and that’s often skewed for names that follow different conventions.

😀. I’m glad I did not go down that rabbit hole. But yeah, it’s part of the _feels_.

It’s mostly how it feels, I think 🤔 Maria is female and Mario is male, right? Except for Spanish speakers, for whom Maria is also a male. As I wrote before, the Finnish name Jorma is a strong male name, which today has a connotation of a cock. And it ends with an A. If I think in English, I’d say that is a feminine name. Jarmo is also a male. Marja is feminine and Marjo is feminine too…  
Andrea to me is mostly feminine, although I know of some males with the name. Emanuele… I think it was feminine to me before, probably because of Emmanuelle, but as I today know two men called Emanuele, the meaning has changed to me.

In Spanish, the male version of María is Mario.  
María is a female name, that can be used for men but never as a single name, only in combination with a male name (José María, Carlos María, etc.).

Yes, most Italian names are not that common for English/non-Italian speakers.  
I would suggest a long pompous French name: Jean-Michel Jacques-Phillipe Etienne-François Louis René O’Connor.

Or… take one name from every historical sea-faring European country. Because his parents wanted to raise their son as a EU citizen.  
Or… one name from every global sea-faring country. Throw in some Polynesian names!

That’s the same logic my daughter used, but she’s 4.

I said to her “well then, Giovanni is plural, isn’t it?”

And then I explained that Andrea means “man” 😛 so it MUST be a male name.
