    <p>The U.S. Census Bureau has <a href="http://www.census.gov/topics/population/genealogy/data/1990_census/1990_census_namefiles.html" rel="noreferrer">three lists</a> generated from a 1990 census:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www2.census.gov/topics/genealogy/1990surnames/dist.all.last" rel="noreferrer">dist.all.last</a> [2MB; 88799 entries]</li> <li><a href="http://www2.census.gov/topics/genealogy/1990surnames/dist.female.first" rel="noreferrer">dist.female.first</a> [146k; 4275 entries]</li> <li><a href="http://www2.census.gov/topics/genealogy/1990surnames/dist.male.first" rel="noreferrer">dist.male.first</a> [41k; 1219 entries]</li> </ul> <p>(These have the same counts as from another answer that links to deron.meranda.us)</p> <p>Quoting the link above:</p> <blockquote> <p>Each of the three files, (dist.all.last), (dist. male.first), and (dist female.first) contain four items of data. The four items are:</p> <p>A "Name" Frequency in percent Cumulative Frequency in percent Rank In the file (dist.all.last) one entry appears as:</p> <pre><code> MOORE 0.312 5.312 9 </code></pre> <p>In our search area sample, MOORE ranks 9th in terms of frequency. 5.312 percent of the sample population is covered by MOORE and the 8 names occurring more frequently than MOORE. The surname, MOORE, is possessed by 0.312 percent of our population sample.</p> </blockquote> <p>Googling around, it seems this data has been further refined into a single list of 5163 entries (<a href="http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/107201.html" rel="noreferrer">link 1</a>, <a href="http://ant-village.googlecode.com/hg-history/f506cf9ea6969db1de76241ed96449d96c6427c8/src/main/java/org/antvillage/simulator/names.txt" rel="noreferrer">link 2</a>), in the <a href="http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/107201.html" rel="noreferrer">format</a>:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code> &lt;namestyle&gt; &lt;first/last indicator&gt; &lt;name&gt; </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>Namestyle code:</p> <ul> <li>MF: used as male or female</li> <li>MO: used as male only </li> <li>FO: used as female only</li> </ul> <p>First/Last indicator: </p> <ul> <li>LY: Used as a last name </li> <li>LN: Not used as a last name</li> </ul> <p>E.g:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code> MF LY AARON FO LY ABBEY FO LN ABBIE FO LY ABBY </code></pre> </blockquote> <p><strong>UPDATE 1</strong>: Slightly off topic from original post, but it may be of use to others finding this. If you are looking for something more involved (not just person names, but the gender of many nouns and phrases), you can look at the corpus created by Shane Bergsma and Dekang Lin. <a href="http://conll.cemantix.org/2012/download/gender.data.gz" rel="noreferrer">The data is available as a single gzip file</a> from <a href="http://conll.cemantix.org/2012/introduction.html" rel="noreferrer">the CoNLL shared task</a>.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2</strong>: www.census.gov restructured their website, so I updated links to reflect the files' new locations.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 3</strong>: www.census.gov also has a <a href="http://www.census.gov/topics/population/genealogy/data/2000_surnames.html" rel="noreferrer">survey from 2000</a> for surnames occurring 100 or more times, containing a total of 151,671 names (<a href="http://www2.census.gov/topics/genealogy/2000surnames/names.zip" rel="noreferrer">direct link to zip</a>).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
