How is a name assembled?

Given name then surname. A male pull uses the 276-entry male bank, a female pull the 291-entry female bank, and both attach a surname from the same 221-entry pool.

Are male and female names balanced?

Close to it. The male given bank holds 276 forenames and the female 291, so mixed casts come out roughly even.

Why do family names repeat sooner than first names?

The surname bank has 221 entries against 276 and 291 in the given banks, so across a long run the smaller surname pool cycles first.

About male canadian names

How male canadian names are built

A name joins a gender-specific given name to a surname from a 221-entry family-name bank. The men's given bank holds 276 forenames and the women's 291. Male and female templates each pair the given name with a surname drawn from the same shared bank, producing pulls like Jeremy Fontaine, Steven Bertrand and Eleanor Cormier.

Jeremy Fontaine
Jeremy (given, male bank) + Fontaine (surname bank)
Eleanor Cormier
Eleanor (given, female bank) + Cormier (surname bank)
Steven Bertrand
Steven (given, male bank) + Bertrand (surname bank)

Naming notes

Two roughly balanced given banks (276 male, 291 female) feed one shared 221-entry surname bank, so mixed casts come out even and the surname slot does not track gender. The surname bank is the smallest of the three, so family names repeat sooner than first names across a run.
