HelpRe: question
in reply to a message by Sofia
That's neat! you'll have to point those ones out for us in the BAs (I'd never suspect that Odri is a Croatia-fied Audrey)
is -o the generel masculine male ending, or is it something else that makes it obviously male?

Well, Odri is quite rare, I've only seen it once, but it's on a TV reporter so you hear it all the time. Nensi however is quite popular.
While -o names are generally male, there is no one way to define a male name (like -a for female, although we do have male -a names too), you just KNOW they're male. It's mostly by eliminating the -a ending names (with those few traditional exceptions -like Matija, Ivica, Ilija, Andrija, Borna) and then you get a male name.
