Frequently Asked Questions
-
How can you tell if a name is male or female?
Most names are predominantly used for either males or females, so a statistical approach will often yield good results. Of course, some names are used across both sexes, but a statistical approach will reveal that, too. Furthermore, naming conventions can rely on cultural differences. We cover that with support for scoping a lookup to a specific country .
-
How accurate is the tool in determining gender from names and how does it handle unisex names?
Our predictions are based on the ratio of males to females with a given name. As such, the accuracy is based on whether a name is strictly used by one gender or as a unisex name. We return a probability with all predictions. A probability closing towards 50% means that both genders use the name with equal likelihood.
