Mod name: Villager Names

Feature description

I've had this amazing idea! I'm using the Human Era Villagers resource pack, which adds more human-like villagers and introduces gender distinctions, including female villagers. While using this alongside the Villager Names mod, I noticed that the names assigned to villagers don't reflect their gender—female villagers often receive traditionally male names and vice versa.
It would be a fantastic enhancement if Villager Names could detect or integrate with gendered villagers and assign names accordingly. This would greatly improve immersion and roleplay potential, especially for modpacks that emphasize realism or storytelling.

Possible Implementation Ideas:

  • Add optional gender-based name lists (e.g., female_names.txt, male_names.txt) that users can customize.
  • Detect gender tags from compatible mods or resource packs like Human Era Villagers and assign names from the appropriate list.
  • Include a fallback or toggle for users who prefer gender-neutral naming.

Thanks for all your work on this mod—it’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in the world-building experience!
