The a and o thing comes from Latin languages so you'll find boys' and girls' names in Italy, Spain and Portugal that only differ by their endings.

Antonio / Antonia

Francisco / Francisca

Gregorio / Gregoria

Horacio / Horacia

Ignacio / Ignacia

etc.

Pedro

A and O go much further as they are gender specific.

The A is female as in "Are you ever going to mend that A"

Wheras the male reply is "O"

Peters original comment was female names end in A and male names end in O...........so you can tell the sex of your car so I am assuming the car model ends in an A or an O... Confused Confused
