perception of gender in names

[Arnold Zwicky]

to grant smith's references, i can add the following:

Cutler, Anne, James McQueen & Ken Robinson.  1990.  Elizabeth and
John: sound patterns of men's and women's names.  JL 26.2.471-82.

de Klerk, V. & B. Bosch.  1997.  The sound patterns of English
nicknames. Language Sciences 19.4.289-301.

there's at least one more recent item, which i'll unearth
soon.
