| Mar 20, 2013 at 14:31 | comment | added | Hellion | The most reliable way: Say "(name), are you male or female?" | |
| Mar 20, 2013 at 13:52 | comment | added | EnglishLearner | Not reliable at all. My husband’s name ends with an ‘a’. | |
| Mar 20, 2013 at 13:07 | comment | added | avpaderno | To add to what @snailplane said, a name like Robin could be a female name, or a male name. In the USA, it seems it is used more as a female name. | |
