Personator Executive Summary...

Splits Name Fields, Genderises, Makes Salutations. Splits full or inverse name fields into Prefix, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix/Title/Honours, adds correct prefix/gender by referencing 100,000 record gender-base look-up table.  Also Personator auto-generates varying salutations based on the content of the name field.

Where the contact full name is held in a single field, this utility will correctly split the name into its correct elements and derive the gender and prefix. It will also derive perfect salutations that can automatically vary depending on the available data in the name field (or fields). User definable look-up tables are used to ensure maximum accuracy.

Personator genderizing screen

  • Gives you the choice of genderising conservatively, normally, or aggressively. You can “tilt” genderising toward male or female if a file is mostly one gender (e.g. subscribers to Women’s Day).

  • Doesn’t override existing prefixes unless you want it to.

  • Can use a suffix (like “Jr.”) to determine the correct prefix even if the first name is unknown or neutral.

  • Ask about GenderBase 100. For even more precise genderising, you’ll want this add-on genderising table with over 100,000 single word un-hyphenated first names!
