guys,i know this is kind of silly question and the reason why i put into 'other' is that this is kind of spam but i want to ask you something..

as you guys know,my nickname is Pala Toran but i prefer only Pala, anyway my question is that, whenever i use my real skin, which is from kotor and was a female one, i use Twilek or Female skins,but it does not mean that i am a female, anyway people generally ask me this
'Palatoran,are you female?'and i am saying the people all the time no i am not but some people are asking this question over and over,
my problem is that what should i do to solve it.. i should rename my nickname which is belong to male? or should i just change my skin? for now i am using Imperial Commander not to get confusion but still,i dont think it works because i hear the same question again :)

any ideas would be great for me,i mean if you had dealth the same problem,how did you solve it..i am just asking this :) but please answer this

Thanks for Reading (and if you have written,thanks for it as well) and May your awesomeness be with you :)

In many European languages (and Latin) generically speaking female names end with "A" and male names end with "O" - or derivatives of such. (eg. Pyra purposefully changed the name of Pyro to Pyra to be recognized as female.)

So, using a female-ish name with a female skin - I'd say the solution to this problem would be self evident.

I have this problem all the time. Sadly, without changing your name (or skin) there's no way around this but to keep telling them that you're male.

If you don't have a problem changing your name, go right ahead is my suggestion. Or, change your skin.

Technically female skins still show up as Jan to anyone who has JA+ anyway.

And fine, nitpickers. Falcoa. Happy? Now I sound like a snake >.<

I remembered something about that, when i was in JAWA server, a jawa member who is Steha-Hasta was calling me as Palaria instead of Pala and Cole was calling my nickname with a song
Palla da li di la palla da da li pala da li di la shlalalalala!!! :D

and falcon i hope i did not make you angry because it was just a joke about 'Koala' subject :)
