Frequently Asked Questions about the Random Name Picker
How does the random name picker work?
The tool reads your names list, one per line, and uses the browser's Web Crypto API to draw genuinely random picks. Every name has an equal chance of being selected on each draw.
Is the selection truly random?
Yes. It uses crypto.getRandomValues, the same cryptographic randomness modern browsers use for security tokens. The results are not predictable or biased.
Can I prevent the same name from being picked twice?
Turn on the No duplicates option. Each name will be picked at most once. If you ask for more picks than available unique names, no result is shown.
How many names can I add?
There is no hard limit on the list. You can pick up to 1,000 names per draw. Larger lists work fine in the browser.
Are my names sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. The names you enter never leave your device.
