First Person
I - main
My - mera (m) , meri (f) , mere (pl)
But this gender difference for "my" does not depend on your gender, it depends on the gender of the object that belongs to you.
Whether you are a man or a woman, you would say:
Mera naam (my name, naam is masculine)
Meri kitaab (my book, book - kitaab is fem.)
mere dost (my friends)

ra, re, ri, ka, ke, ki are possessives, which one to use depends on gender of subject only
ex
naam is masculine so u will always say
meRA naam(my name)(doesnt matter if u r a girl or boy)
usKA naam(his/her name)
kiska naam??(whos name)
ex.2
kitaab(book) is femenine so u will always use ri or ki to show possession
ex. meri kitaab(my book )
uski kitaab(his/ her book)
humaari kitab(our book)
ghar(home) masculine
mera ghar
uska ghar
humara ghar
so repeating again, with "naam" always mera (or mere) is used and "meri" is never used.

mera = मेरा नाम रामू है Mērā nāma rāmū hai
