Rich is right and I don’t think that you have thousands of "managers". Perhaps 
maximum 100? So, it’s more reasonable to identify the gender manually.

Saba,

  Despite the availability of some tools you'll never find a satisfactory
answer. Consider Lynn, Alex, Ari, Blaine, Blake, Bobby, etc. Then you'll get
others that don't fall into any discrete category.

  Perhaps a separate column in your CSV file for gender?

There was a package called genderNames on CRAN for a couple of months, 
but the maintainer abandoned it.  You could recover it from the CRAN 
archive and see if you can get it to build.


Look for it in .

A simple google search gives the what you are after [1]. But I think it works 
only for English names. Consider this before use.

Hello,

I doubt there is, at least a search with package sos didn't show 
anything usefull.

But a google search found
https://github.com/KartikTalwar/LeGenderary

Maybe you can get inspiration from there and adapt to R code.
