Now there I am with my shallow jokes and
uncontrolled ethymological background.
I remember me and my wife reading the Book of Names
when we tried to suggest suitable names for our granddaughter some years ago.
Strange connections came out.
Luckily my own name is solid as
rock!!!

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,

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
