Re: Determining gender based on first name

Not trying to be a problem but "American names?" Like "Freedom" or "Shaniqua?" "Anglo" ne "American" ne "German" etc etc etc. As someone whose mail comes chronically with the wrong salutation I must chime in on the general issue: "Boooooo!"

That said, Spanish is actually a language with gender in it. You should be able to get a pretty good starting point from little more than (a|o)\z and then grow it from there.
