No inconvenience whatsoever, Peeter!  

Since you iberized the name to Renato (though an Italian named Renato
would insist on it being italianized ?) , I would like to add that it
also has been "frenchised" to Rene(e) -pardonnez moi for not using the
accent-   and americanized to Renae, guess you English folks
angolized it.  

Still, and I doubt that anyone is still interested, but for the sake of
completeness the form Renata and Renatus is the original from the latin
verb renascere meaning to be reborn.

So, the name means the reborn one... the word nacere being derived from the indogermanic.....  LOL  in my sleep!

Nade - short for Renate  :-)

Some names are female You do what You want, e.g.

To masculize the name Renata (-te) You have to 
Iberize it into "Renato" 
Even ancientizing into "Renath" doesn't help 
much

But what's more peculiar - in Norway (to my 
knowledge) Terje and (H)Elga are male names, but in Estonia these are perfect 
and 100% female ones

PS: I very much apologize, Renate, if playing with 
Your name caused any inconveniences whatsover

Well, finally a question from the group which I can clear 
  up!  
After all I'm an expert on Renate  with an "e" at the 
  end.  
Last time I checked I was female.  :-)
The "e" on the 
  end is German and it doesn't rhyme with "rebate".  

While I am 
  responding to this thread, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time 
  and reviewing my work.  I'm quite in awe of the technical knowledge of 
  all of you being an artist by trade and exploring the new medium of digital 
  photography for the past couple of years.  Thanks for all the great info 
  I am getting by just lurking.

Love and good light,

Renate
