Pat is short for Patrick (male) and Patricia (Female). There may be others. Sam, female is Samantha as opposed to male Samuel. In the UK Tracy is feminine and I have never heard of a male Stacey either. In the USA it could well be derivatives of non English names I don't know. Al
-----Original Message----- Oops! it must be my deficient knowledge of the English language! I was ALWAYS under the impresion that you were a woman, but now, I just looked you up on Linkedin and saw your picture. There are a zillion female Tracy, but you appear at the bottom. And yes, you do have a beard! You see, I always get confused with some english names that could be both female or male. (Stacey, Tracy, Pat,Sam, etc) _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/003201cdb856$f28e6950$d7ab3bf0$@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
