Where do the names come from?

First names come from INSEE's register of names given to babies born in France since 1945, and surnames from INSEE's list of surnames of people born 1941–2000.

How is gender decided?

Names come from separate female and male lists. Choosing “Any” picks one of the two lists at random for each name.

Why do some names look old-fashioned?

The lists cover several generations of people alive today, not just recent baby names.
