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