[Corpora-List] Request People Name Corpus (English)

[Scott Crossley]

The NLTK data package has an English name corpus categorized by gender  
that is free to download. Not sure how up-to-date it is or  
representative, but it is pretty big.

> Hello all,
>
> I am looking for People Name Corpus in English, categorized by  
> gender. do you know of such one exists? Some web sites have such  
> data (e.g. baby names, etc.) so I thought to check with you first  
> since it needs some effort to extract the names from the web beside  
> possible copyright issue. I appreciate your help.
>
> of course, similar parallel corpus is fine, especially English- 
> Arabic one.

> Thank you!
