3$\begingroup$ You could take this further by stating what the first TWO letters denote. $\endgroup$– Keeta - reinstate MonicaJul 29, 2016 at 14:16

$\begingroup$ And that the fifth letter could denote either. $\endgroup$– charfellowJul 29, 2016 at 14:43

2$\begingroup$ The only part that could maybe be tweaked is the "first four letters denote men", but I was thinking the same thing. $\endgroup$ Jul 30, 2016 at 16:00

You are :
Heroine, which refers to a woman
First two letters :
He, which denotes a man
First three letters :
Her, same
First four letters :
Hero, refers to a man

$\begingroup$ Nice, but the first one is eight letters, not seven. $\endgroup$– paoloJul 29, 2016 at 13:09

9$\begingroup$ Most of these don't make sense. What's a "herm" or a "hermine"? How do "Desi" and "shell" denote men? Of the two famous "Shelley"s, only one is a woman. $\endgroup$ Jul 29, 2016 at 16:18

$\begingroup$ @OrangeDog they are male and female names (admittedly most of them are fairly obscure)/ $\endgroup$– user21939Aug 1, 2016 at 9:07

A bit of a stretch at the end but..
First 3 letters:
Her - denoting woman
First 4:
Herr - The German equivalent of the 'Mr.' title
You are:
HerRoom - An online lingerie retailer
