The hyphenated name category file defines first names that include hyphens (such as Anne-Marie) to help the Sun Match Engine recognize and process these values as first names. The file also classifies each name into a gender category. This file is used to standardize all domains except Australia, which uses the personFirstNameDashAU.dat file located in the Australia folder, and France, which uses the personFirstNameDashFR.dat file located in the France folder.
The hyphenated name category files use the following syntax:
name gender-class
You can modify or add entries in this table as needed. Table 8 describes the columns in the personFirstNameDash.dat file.
