Naming notes
Female draws use the female given bank, male draws the male one, and both close on the shared surname pool of 736 entries. Because the banks are sampled independently, any given name can pair with any surname. Region label: Punjab, across India and Pakistan. The male given bank of 988 is much larger than the female bank of 294, so male given names stay fresher across draws.
