Need tons of names for a little experiment

General Name Discussion
1

Hey! Well, the thread I started about using girly-sounding unisex names for boys got me thinking about the double standard, and being sort of scientifically minded, I’d like to design a survey to test people’s gut feelings on this. What I have in mind is either:

  • a list of random names that are assigned either to a boy or a girl, where the participant would rate how well the name fit the gender on a scale from 1-7
    or
  • something like project implicit, Project Implicit (under demonstrations), where a name would appear and you would have to decide whether it was feminine or masculine, perhaps with a secondary variable (I’m thinking strong vs gentle but I’m open to suggestions).

Now, this is very much a side project for me and may not even get done, but I’ve got no way of even starting to think about it without some names to use! So, what I need from you, if you are willing, oh ye name loving berries, is a few first + middle combinations in the following categories:

Hyperfeminine – eg [name]Luciana[/name] [name]Francesca[/name], [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Fenella[/name]
Feminine – eg [name]Holly[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]April[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
Unisex – eg [name]Bryn[/name] [name]Taylor[/name], [name]Cameron[/name] [name]Reese[/name] (this can include names that are one sex in one country and a different one in another)
Masculine names – eg [name]David[/name] [name]Jon[/name], [name]Michael[/name] [name]Andrew[/name]
Hypermasculine names eg. – [name]Colt[/name] [name]Mack[/name], [name]Rex[/name] [name]Steel[/name]

The names should preferably be recognizable to an average [name]North[/name] American – eg. [name]Saoirse[/name] is out – and it should be at least remotely feasible to read the unisex ones either way, even if you prefer them on one sex over the other. You wouldn’t be associated with the names on the survey, if I get as far as that, and if for some reason you didn’t want your random combination to be a part of it any more I would take it off, of course! And if I really do get somewhere with this, I will of course keep the berries posted on how it goes.

That would be a very interesting study.

By the way - at BTN - I was curious about something along somewhat similar but different lines. You know they have the name ratings like % feminine/masculine etc. I thought it would be interesting to search that and compare how the names fit and whether you can predict names more likely to cross - e.g. is [name]Riley[/name] more % feminine than say [name]Jack[/name] for example.

Maybe I should do that and you work on your one and we compare :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone! I really need as many as I can get, I think, because I’m now considering doing both of my ideas as above. :smiley: I have the hardest times with hyper-masculine names, and the easiest with hyperfeminine. It doesn’t matter if there are repeats of a single name, by the way, since that might help to see if the combination effects things.

@[name]Cka[/name] – that would be an interesting thing to look at too, though I guess it would take some time to see if there was a real trend.
