Silke (fem or masc?)

German translation: fem

22:00 Dec 9, 2003
German language (monolingual) [Non-PRO]
German term or phrase: Silke (fem or masc?)
This should be an easy question, I have "Silke, German, 25 years old" and the picture is not available. I think it must be a feminine name, can you confirm, please? I need to know to choose "German" in fem. or masc.
Thanks
