Our Data Methodology
The GenderChecker.com database is primarily compiled from 2001 and 2011 UK census data. As a multi-cultural country with a population from across the globe, this gives our data a strong international dimension.
This core dataset has then been cross-referenced against several other online sources to ensure gender accuracy.
Finally, GenderChecker.com has received over 9,000,000 visitors since 2008, some of whom have kindly helped with additions and edits to the data over time.
Our database contains 102,240 unique names, each of which is classified as male, female or unisex. Our approach for classifying names as unisex is very strict - if we find any instance of a name appearing as both male and female, we classified it as unisex. Whilst this means that 7% of our names are 'unisex', it means we have a high degree of confidence in the gender classification of the remaining 93% of names.
Potential Use Cases
Once you have purchased the GenderChecker.com database, you are free to use it however you want - there are no license conditions. Some of our clients' useful and interesting use cases of our data have included:
