Harvard University R Programming Machine Learning Data Science Project

I have an Data Science project where I attempt to predict the likelihood that a name is gender neutral. I have a logistic regression in my project but I need another algorithm and I cannot decide if I can use Random Forest or Naive Bayes or any other one. I need to demonstrate another algorithm, two more if possible. Code is in R.
