    I disagree. Age biases the statistical likelihood of a name. Features that hint in any ethnic direction. Also some visible features might bias towards urban vs rural upbringing which also would also lean names in another direction.

      Oh yea, baby name trends, ethnicity, I don’t know how heterogeneous the datasets they are using are when they mention the strength of the correlation, I was imagining it would distinguish a John from a Peter, but there could be a much lower correlation in that subset.
