However, since the name of the "child" was asked, it was possible to code the sex in most cases. In some cases the respondent refused to give the name; in other cases the name was uncodeable, either because it was gender- ambiguous (e.g., Pat, Chris, Terry, Robin) or because it was a name that did not appear in commonly used "Name Books." Spanish names were coded by Spanish-speaking members of the project team.
