Abstract
AbstractComputers assist researchers by storing, arranging, selecting, and summarizing numerical and alphabetical information. Their speed, accuracy, and large handling capacity contribute to research on personal names by providing rapid and accurate summaries and analyses of large amounts of information. Computers can relate personal names to many attributes, and are thus useful for developing indices such as quantitative phonetic gender scores and in assisting in such studies as the evolution of unisex names, the properties of personal names, names in genealogies, and names in fictional and factual texts.
