    Interesting problem.

    The following paper presented methods based on knowledge-poor features
    to guess grammatical gender in several Indo-European languages:

    S. Cucerzan and D. Yarowsky. Minimally Supervised Induction of Grammatical
    Gender. Proceedings of HLT/NAACL 2003, Edmonton, 2003.

    However, your problem seems harder, in that you are working with names,
    not nouns, and I suppose that In Chinese you are not going to get any
    morphological cue to gender...

    Regards,

    Marco
