Ordinances Ready Question

When I am in my account and I click on an ordinance in Ordinances Ready, I am only given female names. When my husband is in his account, he is only given male names. Why can't we be given names of both genders? We have to go into the family to see if there are siblings of the opposite sex to see if they need their work done. It would be so much easier if you would just give us the opportunity to obtain male and female names. Please make a change so this can happen!

    Hi Jill

    The following Article tells you how names are populated for ordinances when you use Ordinance Ready:

    The first paragraph explains the "gender" problem:

    The Ordinance Ready feature helps you find names easily for your next temple trip. The names provided may be from your own family, or they may be names that other Church members have shared with the temple. Ordinances Ready finds names for you that are your **** (that is, male names for male users and female names for female users)

    There is much in this Artcile that will help you with your problems. Here is the link:
