for finding out the gender for a given name which can be inferred from the title.
Are you trying to implement it? Have you tried Data.List.isPrefixOf? Are you aware of just how many different titles there are in the world, both gender-specific and non-gender-specific (although admittedly fewer and less ambiguous than it is for names)?...Probably some of them will appear after someone's name rather than before, too, and then you get to play with fun contradictory things like "Madam So-and-so, Prince of Wales". This smells like a fishy thing to do, I suppose it's like homework rather than the real world...? P.S. gender discrimination! :-P -Isaac
