Nessie is a feminine name, it ends in a 'ie'. Of course it could well be a usage of
such male names as Nestor. Similarly it could come from Vanessa. I don't know. i don't
really care. Nessie certainly carries on like an old woman sometimes.

His/her gender is irrelevant. But if someone is called Tom, or Hank, or William,
aren't I entitled to assume they are male? Similarly 'Merlin' is (to my knowledge) an
exclusively male name, taken from the figure Merlin from the King Arthur myth cycle,
who is always portrayed as male.
