Description

Add genders to existing names. Add new key-value pair "sex": "string" to JSON name files.

Use single, lowercase letters: m for male, f for female and u for unisex names. Don't spell out the whole words.

For example:

{
    "name": "Mary"
    "sex": "f", 
    "meaning": "Most likely Egyptian name derived in part from mry \"beloved\" or mr \"love\". Also known by Greek and Hebrew form of \"sea of bitterness\", \"rebelliousness\", and \"wished for child\"",
    ...
}
