# Bengali Female VS Male Names Dataset
|
6 |
+
An NLP dataset that contains 2030 data samples of Bengali names and corresponding gender both for female and male. This is a very small and simple toy dataset that can be used by NLP starters to practice sequence classification problem and other NLP problems like gender recognition from names.

# Background
|
9 |
+
In Bengali language, name of a person is dependent largely on their gender. Normally, name of a female ends with certain type of suffix "A", "I", "EE" ["আ", "ই", "ঈ"]. And the names of male are significantly different from female in terms of phoneme patterns and ending suffix. So, In my observation there is a significant possibility that these difference in patterns can be used for gender classification based on names.

## Dataset Format
|
16 |
+
The dataset is in CSV format. There are two columns- namely
|
17 |
+
1. Name
|
18 |
+
2. Gender
|
19 |
+
|
20 |
+
Each row has two attributes. First one is name, second one is the gender. The name attribute is in ```utf-8``` encoding. And the second attribute i.e. the gender attribute has been signified by 0 and 1 as

## Possible Use Cases
|
38 |
+
1. Sequence Classification using RNN, LSTM etc
|
39 |
+
2. Sequence modeling using other type of machine learning algorithms
|
40 |
+
3. Gender recognition based on names
|
41 |
+
|

+
## Disclaimer
|
43 |
+
The names were collected from internet using different source like wikipedia, baby name suggestion websites etc. If someones name is in the dataset, that is totally unintentional.
