'Is the person in this site who confirms the gender of the name for some other cultures a bot? I see this name confirmed as 100% female in some other place with small incidence and many other male names too but there is no evidence of use, while many female names identify as 100% female or slightly less than 100% in all other places. They confirm thoughtlessly and carelessly. This is really unfair on gender names
