Oops!

I am sorry, but I think we will have to understand each other - that it is
not an insult.  It is not easy for me from another country to know which
name belongs to men/women.

Any way sorry sister, and don't be hurt if I continue to refer to you as
brother again because your names are confusing to me  in the sense that not
many of you use the so-called christian names like we do in my country. Some
of your names are almost the same - and think I am making fun here. I had to
change mine when I became matured recently.

Best regards,

Nyar'Onyango
