If it is a "baby name chooser" application then each "name" needs to know whether the name can be "male", "female" or "both." I would create male? and female? as separate fields that can be either true or false. This simplistic approach to design is superior to creating a both option in one field.

Thanks chaps.
It's now got me thinking. This stuff is not as easy as it looks. Ive
given up on gender when I realised that a name can belong to both
genders!
In English my app is a baby name chooser
A baby can have many proposed names but only one surname.
A name can be of many types, forename / middlename etc
Any tips how to model this!
