Keep Shanna. I always assumed you were a guy. Even bonafide girls on the site I assume are guys pretending to be girls. But, I never even got that much out of the name Shanna. It's just a handle. How many people think I'm hispanic because my handle is JuanValdez? Well, probably some, but it doesn't matter ultimately. Maybe you should run a poll asking whether they think you are male or female. Set yourself a threshold of tolerance: if 30% think I'm female, I'll change my name, for example. If nothing else, between this 3 page thread and a poll, it should raise sufficient awareness of your gender to make the problem go away (since people would probably vote female just to annoy you).
JV, A poll would create awareness, but newbies would still think he's a girl, and this would have to be done again. btw, JV your French or have french ancestory, right?

Whatever happened to this idea, dude? There were so many excellent suggestions! Did you decide the gender-confusion thing was cool, after all?
