For example.. "I love _____", do I write "_____um amo."? (since -um is the accusative singular masculine ending? and then -am if the noun is singular feminine?)
Hope you understand my question. >< Thanks.

The ancient Romans did not decline foreign words. However, as a Neo-Latinist you may "Latinize" the spelling of any English word. And yes, the am, um, em accusative singular endings would be appropriate

I love Cindy = Yo amo a Cindy.
I love Tom = Yo amo a Tom.
I hope this helps you out. You do not use masculine and Feminine unless you are describing somebody/something.

Te amo.

mmmm.. not understanding it well but let’s try this – in anglish you have ‘a’ or ‘the’..; in latin languages (assume portuguese) you have ‘o’ or ‘a’ depending on the word being masculin or feminine. for instance the/a table would be ‘a mesa’ (mesa being feminine) and o pai (a/the father) …
there’s no easy translating…:-)

Wouldn’t the name be the same in all languages – the noun changing to denote male or female – the same as it would in French?

You normally aim to put -us after the name of a man and -a after the name of a woman. If you are very fortunate there may be a recognised Latin form of the name in question.
For example, if you were writing "I love Henry" you would put: "Henricum amo". "I love Mary" would be "Mariam amo".
There are some names you can’t really change into Latin and it would be better to leave them as they are.
