Just ignore her and she'll go away.
Yeah, but the gender needs to be apparent (almost all female names end in -a, for example) and it's extremely rare to see a totally made up name. Usually foreign names are used if parents want something unusual. + we have a phonetic spelling/ language so you get things like Nensi (Nancy), Odri (Audrey), Endi (Andy).

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.
