Attila actually is not even a name, it is a title meaning "little father". It
also technially isn't Hungarian, since it actually originated from
Gothic-German. And it isn't a Hungarian name, as anyone who isn't Hungary can
use it as a name, but when used as a name in English, it no longer has any
meaning because Attila is not an English word. In the English world, given names
generally have absolutely no meanings to those who give or receive them (except
for a few words/names like Hope or some New Agers who name their kids things
like "ray of sunshine")

And by the "rules" of the English language, Andrea is a female name, just like
Attila would be in English. In English there are no rules for names except for
two: Anything ending in -a is feminine, and names do not have to go by any
phonetic or etymology standards (as if English really had some consistent rules
-- Ha!).

For those joining in late, that is the typical sort of lying and stupidity that
comes from this newsgroup. The discussion so far has only been...

Sage : I use void main()
Greg : You aren't allowed to do that
ISO : "The main function shall have a return type of type int but otherwise
in all other respects the main functions type is
implementation-defined"
IBM : We agree with Sage and that's why we provide it for him to use
MS : We agree with Sage and that's why we provide it for him to use
Borland : We agree with Sage and that's why we provide it for him to use
Greg : That isn't what the Standard meant
Dict. : "but otherwise means in addition to the aforementiond, there are
exceptions...
Greg : Wah! I want my mommy!

And if you get a dictionary and define the words "but" and "otherwise" , you will
see these idiots have no leg to stand on.

I would say yes. But it does *seem* to be more of a man's name.

True, you didn't say it was an english name, but you are applying
english rules to it. Many languages do not have a gender aspect to it
(or do not use -a for it.) As the name is not english it does not seem
to fit putting english rules to it.

I would guess your are just taking "pokes" at poor attila to tick him
off. I should just stay out of it :)

He is too obvious for a troll. I know who I am and he can post as much b/s
as he wants. BTW I have met this very same guy in a forum many years back.
And he was playing the same idiotic game with my name the same way, even
using the same words. That guy was a well known troll, and was not called
The Sage. Apparently he had to change his name so that people will still
pay some attention to him. And apparently he moved to the asm newsgroup.

Hey, he not only didn't have a rebuttal, he posted a followup
in another part of the thread which further amplifies my counter-
example. So he's implicitly conceding a point with his silence,
but then contradicting himself (but that's his M.O., so it's to be
expected).

I just checked with my friend Joshua. He was surprised to discover he is female
and wants to know if he should tell his wife. Please advise.

Obviously, he needs to change his name to "Joshu" so he
will be properly recognized by the gov't as a male.

Yes, that is true but I believe that is because we have all become accustomer to
associating it with Attila the Hun -- who was a male.

English has no restrictions on what names you can give your children.

No, actually this was WW's off topic dodge and evade of issues he can't figure
out like the difference between a return type and a parameter or the difference
between killing a process and ending a program or what the dictioanry states
what "but otherwise" literally means.

Actually, 90% of the people in these newsgroups can't figure that out either,
including Mr/Mrs/It Attila.

You aren't very literate for living with an English Teacher. Can you ask your
Teacher to get a dictionary and look up the words "but" and "otherwise" and tell
us what they mean when applied to the sentence from the ISO Standard that
states, ""The main function shall have a return type of type int but otherwise
in all other respects the main functions type is implementation-defined". Of
course, this presumes you really do live with an English Teacher.
