I should train the model to determine gender of a name. I made the list like

[['Friedtic', 'Homer'], ['Alice', 'Miranda']]

I tried 

classifier = nltk.NaiveBayesClassifier.train(train_data)

but there is the error

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

You need to structure your data into tuple items. Additionally, every item in your train set needs a label which tells the classifier to what class the name belongs. Finally, you need features that contain information on how to identify a name's (supposed) 'gender'.

The NLTK tutorials show how to structure your items, right under Gender Identification.

I could show you how, but this is quite clearly how the developers intended it.
