This is cool! I thought it would be like [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] becomes [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] & [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] becomes [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] when I clicked on it. The only one I have a problem with (& this is just me being nitpicky) is [name_u]Jade[/name_u] becomes [name_u]Jaden[/name_u] because [name_u]Jaden[/name_u] is unisex (as a female J@den I’d know).
