, Fernández , Фернандес 
, and others...) is quite a common dominantly male, but uncommonly girly first name. The forename Fernández is habitual in Bolivia, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, the Dominican Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare largely male, but uncommonly feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Philippines, and Indonesia.
