>>Hi Martina,
>>
>>I'm confused. I have never seen this before (that I can recall). Are names in Czech Republic always gender specific? Here in the U.S. that is not the case, so I find it interesting. What last name do the children get then? If a male's surname is masculine, and the women's lastname is feminine, what about their male and female children? How do surnames get passed on from generation to generation? Or did I totally misunderstand? (It wouldn't be the first time :o)

>>>>But your last name changed, too?

>>>It's juridical condition for RLT. Jindrů is universal last name. The Jindrova, where end-piece "ova" is female end-piece (Slavic rules). I can this end-piece only after operation.
