I'm learning Russian and I don't know what it is for that, but in German I've seen "xier", "sier", and "dey". I might use "dey/dem".

Being a romance language, nouns in Spanish are also gendered, and use a gender modifier such as -a or -o. The elle pronoun is typically associated with -e forms of the nouns

Some names don't follow that rule. Rocio is a woman's name.
