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. I love Cindy = Yo amo a Cindy.

I love Tom = Yo amo a Tom.

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.
