How to determine gender by last name and first name?

Question

PHP

Hello!
Given a Last Name and First Name of a user, is there a sure way to determine the gender of a user based on this data? Or still give the choice of gender to the user?

Answer 1

Try automatically but there should be a shift selection.
The same thing as the declension of names and surnames is different, and this cannot be driven into a template.
The names may not be Russian, but there is a different system.
I had to work a lot with this at one time =\

Answer 2

Valya Kropenko - woman or man?

Answer 3

Maximum patronymic:
'vich' -> male
'vna' -> female
'ly' -> male
'zy' -> female
'va' -> female

Answer 4

Look at the article, just the other day from Habr, where in the comments the developers explain something about this habrahabr.ru/company/enterra/blog/219535

Answer 5

I do not think that such a choice for the user will be too difficult. You put in a lot more work than you get out of it. If it is possible to provide a choice to the user, then let him "work a little" himself.

Answer 6

Why does a site need to know gender? And if this is dating or a sex shop, then you still need to know your orientation, you can’t determine by name)

Answer 7

ABIBO Avetik who? Not so simple

Answer 8

What if 'user Tatiana gave you a task'?

Answer 9

If it's smart, then you can make a database Name -> gender + ending of the last name and patronymic. For this, I think the first 50 million VK users will do

Answer 10

"Or still give the choice of gender to the user?" - exactly.
