Whereas singular masculine proper names always form the genitive and dative using the preposed lui, feminine ones only do so when the specific name doesn't have a genitive/dative form itself: casa lui Carmen but casa Mariei. This rule is ignored by many in informal situations and lui is used with feminine names either way.
