We know you are...and oh, what a guy!!!  I get the gender confusion 
thing as well because my name is Japanese...so not only can folks not 
figure out whether it's a male or female name...they can't figure out 
which part to use because Japanese names are in reverse order from 
European ones...so many think that my family name (Minowara) is my given 
name...because it comes first!  So....Lord Minowara is something I see 
on occasion.
