First Name Gender Processor

The name of First Name Gender Processor says all about its functionality. It is a simple software utility that can determine the gender of a person based on their first name.

First Name Gender Processor is designed to work with Excel so having Microsoft Office installed on your computer is a mandatory requirement for this application to work properly. In fact, it scans for Excel at each program launch, displaying an error message if the spreadsheet program is not found.

The one-window interface comprises all the options for both the input and the output files. There are no menus and no extra options to deal with, which makes the application extremely intuitive.

There is a specific structure the input file must comply to in order for First Name Gender Processor to be able to read its contents. First of all, all the names must be placed in a single column and, if the first row includes column titles, you must specify. As for the format of the names, it can be as mixed as you want but the first name must be there for the analysis to work.

By default, First Name Gender Processor is designed to analyze the entire file but you can also select a range of rows in the table.

As for the output, you can save it to the same Excel file, allowing First Name Gender Processor to create dedicated columns for the gender, salutation mode, the first and the last names (it splits them up), the title, the prefix and the suffix, if required. You can also add custom salutation modes for males and females.

Alternatively, First Name Gender Processor enables you select an existing Excel file or an empty one, preserving the row position, no matter your choice.  The file is not saved or overwritten before you preview it. You get to see the row number and the list of names in the input, but also the processed data: the gender, as determined by the first name and all the other columns mentioned above. Once you are satisfied with how everything looks like, you can go ahead and save the output.
