At the risk of losing a significant share of my readers, I have a clarification to make…
But before, let me thank all of those who read me, all of those whom I have met the last couple of weeks, all of those classmates that mentioned that “Yes, I remember your name, you have a very nice blog”. Thanks! It feels good to know someone reads you (because very few people actually comment!).
And I want to thank you also for a critical piece of feedback… After saying “You have a very nice blog”, 50% of my classmates mentioned that they thought Patxi was a girl and a girl’s name while the remaining 50% had serious doubts on my gender, based on my name. Interesting, I thought!/p>
No worries, no ofense taken, but I have decided to put the record straight.
Let me dissapoint all of you who were reading these posts believing this was the blog of a hot and smart MBA woman. Sorry people, I am a boy. Patxi happens to be a boy’s name, the equivalent of Francisco/Frank in Basque language.
And let me give you a free piece of advice. Next time you hesitate on a name’s gender, use Google and search for it on images. It can provide you with interesting information. Check it out:

Have no fear. I’ve always considered you a boy!

Why don’t you try with my name?

Well, I just met another Basque girl in the Bollywood club yesterday who’s name is Jaione, so you can team up with her to vent your frustrations with having your name misunderstood!

Totally random question: can you speak Basque?

Ixtap, totally non random answer: Basque no. Catalan, yes.
