I do indeed have friends with "i" at the end and if you changed it for the Y it would be a guys name, but it actually never occured to me it could be a "typical way" of turning m-names into f-names.
In the States they even used to call me "Pauli-Girl", can't go wrong with that...

Yep, there are just some names you can't turn feminine.

Noooooo! This was honestly a very general statement and NOT at all pointed at you personally.
Just as anything else I post in here is not a personal target. If I want to be personal, I'll do it by pm. I have that much integrety, quand-même!
I'll have to take a look at St.Pauli from home, our work server blocks this site for whatever reason. Tsk.....

| Take your pick...
Polite version:
It is something I might say after my opponent has deflected all my introductory attacks and I am about to launch my best offensive action.
OR...
Impolite version:
It is something I might say to my adversary as I grab a certain body part.
(Hey... YOU asked.)
