The article discusses the options for correlation of the morphological genus of personal names of individuals and biological sex. The subject of the review is the full proper names of the persons, as well as their formal word-formation modifications used in colloquial speech. The aim of the study is to identify types of correlation of the morphological genus and biological sex of personal names of individuals, as well as their derivative derivatives. As a result of the analysis, the following features were identified: in the main part of both male and female proper names, the morphological gender is consistently correlated with the biological sex, however, the vast majority of modification derivatives (the so-called “diminutive”) male names lose this type of correlation : there is a substitution of the formal indicators of the male morphological gender for the female. Similar “diminutive” lexical-semantic derivatives of female personal names, as a rule, also lose the consistent ratio of gender and gender.
