I'm with DrHyde, might be nice to see what you've tried first.

As for the social implications, that assumes people pick their userid relative to their gender, correct? While that is typically the case, what Sam is trying can be approximate at best. A few examples:

tubaandy - Sure, I'm a male who plays tuba. tubaandi might be a female.

Sam (or chris or pat or ...) - could be male or female.

You get the point, and these are just the english names. (I'd like to know how one would label 005 in Sam's example above. :) ) How often do we find people on the 'net masquerading as someone they're not?

tubaandy
