No matter how futile this discussion is, I would still like to emphasize its insufferable sexism. It's a real shame it addresses female mathematicians only. Igor's answer provides an example (number 6) of real universality of this problem (those who are not in command of Russian may have not realized that the person in question is actually male). Another example is Dave Morris. To quote his home page, My older publications list "Dave Witte" as the author, but I changed my name when I married Joy Morris in December 2002".
