Support gender for lastname / firstname generation
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Description
Would love if we can use parameter with gender in randLastName() and randFirstName():
randLastName({ gender: 'male' }); // Smith
randFirstName({ gender: 'female' }); // EmmaProposed solution
We need to sort current first names / last names by gender in json file including option withAccents and then add parameter gender with male | female types.
@NetanelBasal how do you think about it?

Do you want to create a pull request?
Yes
It seems like a nice feature.
@NetanelBasal OK I will try to prepare PR soon
My only thought is that our genders in falso are not binary. See packages/falso/src/lib/gender.json
Also, I'm not sure about in other cultures but I don't think last names are gendered?
You're right @theryansmee, I don't think the last name is relevant in this case.
@NetanelBasal @theryansmee In some cases, it's relevant. Check out Ivanova, Ivanov and etc for last names.
Yes, but I don't think it's a common use case.
@NetanelBasal OK I will add option for pass gender to lastname, but in implementation for common usecase I do nothing with it, but in i18n case I process it as needed for case I need, OK?
ok
