How do I generate a random name?

Choose where the names come from, whether you want male, female or any, and whether you need first names, last names or full names. Set how many, then press Generate. Copy the list in one click.

What can I use random names for?

They suit stories, role-playing characters, game and app testing, sample data, classroom examples, placeholder names for designs, and baby name ideas.

Are these real people?

No. Each name is a first name joined to a surname from a list of common names, so a result is made up on the spot. A combination might happen to match a real person, because common names are shared by many people.

What types of names can it generate?

English (US and UK), Indian, Filipino and Spanish or Latin names, plus invented fantasy names for characters in games and stories.

Can I choose boys’ or girls’ names?

Yes. Pick male, female or any. The gender setting applies to first names. Surnames are the same for everyone.

Can I get only first names or only last names?

Yes. Choose First name or Last name instead of Full name.

How many names can I generate at once?

Up to 50. The tool avoids repeating a name within one list. A real-name list is finite, so a list of last names only has fewer possible results than a list of full names.

How are fantasy names made?

They are built from syllables, for example a start such as “Ael”, an optional middle and an ending such as “wen”, so you can get an almost endless supply of elf, dwarf and wizard style names.

What is the difference between this and the Random Name Picker?

This tool makes up new names. The Random Name Picker chooses from a list of names you enter, which suits raffles, classroom picks and giveaways.

Can I use the names in my story, game or app?

Yes. Common names are not owned by anyone. Check that a result does not match a real or famous person if you use it somewhere public.

Is it free? Are my results stored?

It is free with no sign-up. Names are generated in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
