Except for a bug your code worked for me in Python 2.7.3.

You're not using randrange, plus you should move the imports to the
top of your module.

This is the bug. You have the test expression "expr1 or expr2" where
expr1 is "gender != male" and expr2 is "female". A non-empty string is
always True by definition, so your test amounts to "expr1 or True",
which means the "if" block always executes.

Consider moving these lists out of the function. They can all go
nicely in a dict, which you can set as a default argument.

Using a dict for the names eliminates the need to test gender here. For example:
import random
import time
names = {
"male": [
"Jacob", "Mason", "William", "Jayden", "Noah", "Michael",
"Ethan", "Alexander", "Aiden", "Daniel", "Anthony",
"Matthew", "Elijah", "Joshua", "Liam", "Andrew", "James",
"David", "Benjamin", "Logan",
],
"female": [
"Sophia", "Isabella", "Emma", "Olivia", "Ava", "Emily",
"Abigail", "Madison", "Mia", "Chloe", "Elizabeth", "Ella",
"Addison", "Natalie", "Lily", "Grace", "Samantha", "Avery",
"Sofia", "Aubrey",
],
"last": [
"Smith", "Johnson", "Williams", "Jones", "Brown", "Pavis",
"Miller", "Wilson", "Moore", "Taylor", "Anderson", "Thomas",
"Jackson", "White", "Harris", "Martin", "Thompson", "Garcia",
"Martinez", "Robinson",
],
}
def simulation(names=names):
print "Welcome to The World."
time.sleep(1)
print "Now Loading..."
time.sleep(1.5)
# Intro page
gender = raw_input("\nGender [male|female]:\n").strip()
if gender not in ("male", "female"):
gender = "male"
username = raw_input("Input your full name:\n")
if not username:
username = " ".join(
random.choice(n) for n in (names[gender], names["last"]))
print "\nUsername: %s. Gender: %s." % (username, gender)
