Hi ! My name is Elian. Back in 2012, I've founded of a piece of sociolinguistics software -NamSor Gender Guesser- that recognises commonly associated gender to personal names in various cultures (when that is relevant) or conversely estimate how gender-less a name is in a particular country or culture. This method is often criticized as inaccurate or unethical, as it unproperly accounts for non-binary and other identities - however it also provides very interesting insights for social sciences and gender studies. We also do our best to present to our users the limitations of the onomastic apporach, especially its probablistic nature and inevitable error rates (which we try to estimate as best as we can). So I'm interested to educate myself and learn more through the articles in this forum.
