> This is important because most players of both genders use neutral-looking names. The study doesn't account for this.

Is this true broadly? I'd be curious to know if there's any data on that besides for anecdotal evidence.

also, a "neutral-looking" name can be really subjective, I would guess that there's a lot of player names that use adjectives that might be inadvertently related to a particular gender based on the cultural context.

I'd be curious to know what the names are in this case.
