I found a paper that researches various methods to infer gender from names in data. It's pretty brief, but the conclusion is mostly what drew my eye: "the performance of name-based gender detection approaches varies according to the country of origin...Significant enhancements can be achieved by combining name-based with image-based gender detection methods."
Might be helpful when you're considering the methods we used w/ facial recognition or the perception of gender?

Here's a table w/ a summary of the accuracy of the various methods they used.
