Replace Gender with Non-repetitive Real Names ONLY when Showing to Participants

Currently one of my attributes "gender" has two levels: male and female. However, when the participants take my survey, instead of "male" or "female", I would like them to see non-repetitive real names (e.g. Adam Brown) from a list I prepared in advance. But eventually, I hope the platform can still run analysis on the original gender attributes (i.e. "male" and "female).
What I have in mind right now is to store a list of names on a remote site (e.g. github) and each of my Qualtrics questions will extract a different name, but I'm not sure if I can dynamically replace gender in the published questionnaire, and change it back to gender when running analysis.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you update using JS it is not stored in the databse, and therefore your results will reflect the initial value instead of what your respondent sees.
