Conclusion

Language models, in combination with demographic data, offer an interesting picture of what our names say about us. I hope you've learned something both about language models and about names by reading this.

If you're interested in the data I'm referring to here, perhaps to put in your own name or a name you might give to someone else, I've made a small interactive web app that lets you query the dataset I used for this piece. You can check it out at https://roberta-names-gender.vercel.app/. If you have questions about the methodology I've used or anything else, feel free to let me know at nicholas.miklaucic@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
