Show HN: An API for gender classification
I started searching for the most gender ambiguous names I could think of like "Jesse", "Alex", "Erin", etc. The best one I've found so far is "Angel" at 51.1% male.

There is an entire Wikipedia page on Unisex names [1]. Most Punjabi Sikh first names are applicable to both genders.
