Category talk:Egyptian given names

Untitled
I'm a bit confused about these categories, are they supposed to include all names ever used in Egypt or only the ancient or modern Egyptian ones? It is strange to see "Ramesses" and "Soliman" in the same category. The modern-day Egyptian names are basically either Arabic or Coptic, is there any reason to have a separate Egyptian category?

Speaking about ancient Egyptian names, the male/female subcategories are somewhat problematic. Are we speaking about grammatically masculine and feminine names, or about usage? I mean, I could list several examples for these:
 * Grammatically masculine names (Meryamun "[male] beloved of Amun", Ankhefenmut "his life is of Mut")
 * Grammatically feminine names (Merytamun "[female]" beloved of Amun", Ankhesenpaaten "her life is of the Aten")
 * Grammatically neither, but used by men only (Amenhotep "Amun is satisfied")
 * Grammatically neither, but used by women only (Neithhotep "Neith is satisfied"; when the deity in the name was male, it was more often a male name, and when the deity was female, it was a name more often used by females, but I could list lots of exceptions to this "rule")
 * Grammatically neither, used by both (Amenemopet "Amun in the Opet feast", Setepenre "chosen of Re")

Additionally, grammatically male names were sometimes used for females, for example there was a queen named Sobekemsaf, a name she shares with male pharaohs (I think the feminine version would be Sobekemsas). – Alensha   talk  20:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Also, "given names" in the category name implies that there were last names too, but Egyptians did not use last names... though it might be a good idea to differentiate between personal names and throne names, but I doubt there'll be many articles on the latter (also, some throne names can be personal names too). – Alensha   talk  20:39, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
