Without a location parameter this is pretty useless. Andrea for example is a male name in Spain and Italy as far as I know.

I'm Italian, my name is Gabriele and it classifies it as female. That's wrong. In Italy, Gabriele is a male name. I agree that this is useless without location information.

Andrea is a female name in Spain, unless it's in very specific regions that I don't know of (source: I'm Spanish). I think you're right about Italy, though.
