Why does Temple Ready only provide male names to male members when using this function?

Hello @William Lloyd Peterson and @James Ravert
RE: "If you don't have female names from your own research in your reserved list and your young women and men are going to the temple and need names a person would like to have options"
A good option would be to teach your young women and young men to fish for themselves.
The youth are able to have their own accounts and can use Ordinance Ready themselves. Maybe with their own accounts they will venture into their own Family Gathering and reserve a name themselves.
RE: I'd like to get female names from my list too for my wife to help me with.
You can always print female names from your Reserved List by going to Temple (up the top of the screen) and then choose My Reservations.
There is also an option for you to share your reservations with your wife or with a Family Group. And then your wife can print the card themselves.
So .... lots of options to obtain names. Ordinance Ready is just intended to be a quick way to obtain names for yourself if you haven't got time to go through My Reservations and choose one yourself.
I hope you find this information useful.
If you would like to make a suggestion that Ordinance Ready be changed to print names for someone else then I would recommend that you use the Suggest an Idea category as the FamilySearch Product Managers do monitor that category.

Because the intent of the design is to give the one person signed into FamilySearch one set of ordinances for that one person to personally do at one trip to the temple.

Why have you rejected Gordon's answer? If a sister is going with you to the Temple, she can log in using her account to obtain female names.

There is nothing to stop you printing female names from your reserved list. What you are unable to do is use Ordinances Ready to find female names.

I don't believe I rejected any answer other than selected "no". I haven't had time to format my concern and reply.
If you are a person who is a last surviving active member of the church, it seems logical to me that there would be an option for a person the do "ordinance ready" for male/female without having a helper do the same thing you could.
If you don't have female names from your own research in your reserved list and your young women and men are going to the temple and need names a person would like to have options.
If you have a spouse or active sibling you can help each other, no problem. But some don't fall into that category.
If it's a programming issue I can understand.

I like Kerijy’s answer. I’m going to follow their suggestion and suggest an idea, thank you.

I admit to not fully understanding your concerns. If you are the only active member in your family, there is nothing to stop you researching female names and sharing these with ward members. This also applies to supplying names for youth baptism trips. I have done this on many occasions to help with supplying names, male and female, for youth trips. I don't think that Ordinance Ready was intended to allow you to generate names in such circumstances.
