The nave Bayes classification method was used for gender discrimination of Chinese names. Training and testing were done on 412775 Chinese names corpus using 10 fold cross validation method, and comparative experiments were done according to the different feature combinations, they were  Zi1, Zi2, Zi1+Zi2, Zi1+Zi1Zi2, Zi2+Zi1Zi2, Zi1+Zi2+Zi1Zi2(all the distinguishing features). The average accuracy were as followings in turn, 72.75%,86.92%, 88.84%, 87.37%, 89.35%, 90.06%, of which the best average accuracy was 90.06%.
