	For an English person, it's pretty funny to see that 40% of people though Ashley Cole was a woman.

	ElectricUkulele:	Sep 20th, 2012 at 21:57 GMT		5 points
	I improved my score the second time by guessing male every time.

	moviegoer74:	Sep 20th, 2012 at 22:03 GMT		8 points
	I got 26/40, which might seem decent but really isn't. For 20 of them, I knew exactly who the person was. So where I was guessing, I went 6/20 even though I had a 50/50 chance of being right. I did worse than random chance.

	I knew several them or I might have missed more, but Dr. Brothers doesn't seem to belong. I know no males named Joyce and Brothers is only her surname. Still a good and imaginative quiz.

	It's spelled Eiseley, not Eisley.

	Penny:	Sep 20th, 2012 at 22:18 GMT		18 points
	Why is Alice Liddell gender-ambiguous? Are there any male Alices besides Mr. Cooper?

	It's impossible to get Loren Eiseley wrong, currently (it won't take "F" as an answer).

	bookworm75:	Sep 20th, 2012 at 22:54 GMT		2 points
	I remember always thinking Sinead O'Connor was a man, then hearing one of her songs and thinking, "Wow, he sounds a lot like a lady!"

	mselby:	Sep 20th, 2012 at 23:22 GMT		3 points
	Loren Eiseley should be fixed now, sorry about that guys.

	iglew:	Sep 20th, 2012 at 23:25 GMT		2 points
	Thanks for the quick response, mselby. I should have caught that on my own proofread.

	Sinead O'Connor?? What a random name to have in this quiz.

	dancastro:	Sep 21st, 2012 at 00:07 GMT		7 points
	If anybody wonders about Andrea Doria (the least correctly guessed, btw): although most Italian names ending in -a are feminine, Andrea was taken directly from Andreas (the Greek name of the apostle Andrew as it appears in the Bible). But in Spanish Andrea is feminine (the masculine is Andrés); this brought some trouble to Italian immigrants in Argentina. As for the painter Miró, Joan is a Catalan name. If he had been given the Castilian equivalent (Juan) surely he would have had better results.

	@DesertSpartan: Joyce Kilmer, the poet who wrote that "...only God can make a tree" was male.

	No George Elliot? Or Dr. Renee Richards?

	jodyjm13:	Sep 21st, 2012 at 00:59 GMT		4 points
	Well, "George Eliot" was the pen name for Mary Anne Evans, so that wouldn't fit quite as well. Still, if anyone's looking for material for a future quiz, there's actor Carroll O'Connor, actress Glenn Close, and baseball Hall of Fame member Hazen Shirley "Kiki" Cuyler.

	I got to "Andrea Doria" and my first thought was "What's the code for sunken ocean liner?"

	dustinp4prez:	Sep 21st, 2012 at 02:02 GMT		5 points
	Took the quiz. Then re-did it, but just randomly pressing m and f. Got a better score the second time.

	DavePlankton:	Sep 21st, 2012 at 06:57 GMT		7 points
	Rather surprised not to see Marion Morrison on the list.

	Good quiz. Don't ever call Gale Sayers "semi-famous" in Chicago. You're liable to start a fight.

	jdreyfuss:	Sep 21st, 2012 at 13:08 GMT		-3 points
	Terry Gilliam is American, not British. Also why is Drew Pinsky on there? One famous woman named Drew doesn't make it a unisex name.

	Shinehead O'Connor!! What say you? (RIP Phil Hartman's Frank Sinatra)

	Chase Utley is most definitely female.

	unkpoker:	Sep 21st, 2012 at 19:04 GMT		3 points
	I guessed "F" for Andrea Doria not realizing the ship was named after an actual person...ships are generally referred to as "shes"...so...

	Lot really easy ones, but I just learned Evelyn Waugh was a guy. I missed that line in the movie.

	Is Siân really that ambiguous?

	My favorite: Ashley Lelie, wide receiver, Denver Broncos.
