Currently we use a simple calculation for confidence: which gender has more births for a given name wins, and the confidence is the number for that gender divided by the total number of births with that name.

Honestly, it works really well for such a simple tool and is likely sufficient, but we should research using a true statistical test to determine statistical confidence.
