Make 1 to 100 random names from eight regions. This makes names up; to pick from your own list, use Random Name Picker.
A random name generator makes up a name by picking one first name and one surname from the lists for the region you choose, so the United States list can give Emily Garcia or Noah Brown. It is not the same as Random Name Picker, which draws winners from names you type in: this tool invents the names, and that one chooses among yours. Each pick uses your browser's secure random source when available, so every name in a list is equally likely. Every region has 25 female first names, 25 male first names and 25 surnames. With Any selected, the first names of both lists are used, so one region can make 50 times 25, which is 1,250 different full names. Choosing female or male first names halves that to 625.
The eight regions are the United States, the United Kingdom, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Indian and Japanese in Latin letters. Each list is short on purpose, and holds common names of that region only. The tool does not invent names to fill a gap, which is why other regions are not offered. For the United States the names come from the kind of data published by the US Social Security Administration and the Census Bureau; the other lists were picked by hand from commonly published rankings of everyday names. The Indian list mixes names from several languages and does not stand for any one of them. Japanese names are written given name first and family name second, the way English text usually shows them, and accents are kept where a language uses them, as in García or Müller. Any region mixes all eight, up to 9,838 different full names.
Names to make can be First and last, First only or Last only. First names can be female, male or any, which only changes the first name; surnames have no gender. The count runs from 1 to 100 and every name in a list is different. If the settings cannot make that many, for example 100 last names from one region that has 25, the page gives you every name it can and shows a note. The first name is shown large and the whole list sits below it, one name per line, ready to copy. The page keeps no history of earlier lists, so copy what you need before you press the button again.
Use them for characters in a story or a game, sample data in a spreadsheet or a form you are testing, a placeholder on a slide, or a name for a pet or a plant. The names are random combinations, and any match to a real person, living or dead, is chance. Do not use them to pretend to be a real person, to fill in a form that asks for your legal name or to make an account that deceives anyone. A generated name is also not a statement about a person's gender, origin or background: a common name on a list says only that it is common.
Choose a region, set First names to Female or Male, and press Make names. With the United States and Male, for example, you get names such as Daniel Taylor or Logan Moore: a male first name from a list of 25 and a surname from a list of 25.
This tool makes up new names from lists of common first names and surnames. Random Name Picker draws winners from names you paste in, such as 30 people in a class or a giveaway. Use this one for characters and test data, and the picker when the names already exist.
Yes. Under Names to make choose First only or Last only. A region has 25 female and 25 male first names, 50 first names in all, and 25 surnames, so 100 first names from one region gives the 50 there are and a note.
No person is behind a result. The tool combines one first name and one surname at random, so a result such as Emma Wilson is a chance combination. Common names are shared by many people, so a match to someone real is possible and means nothing.
Only regions with a list of common names that could be written down honestly are offered, eight in all. Rather than guess at names for other languages, the tool leaves them out. Any region mixes the eight, which gives up to 9,838 different full names.
No. The names are made in your browser, in this tab, and no server receives them. Your choices, such as the region and the count, are saved in this browser; the names are not. Google Analytics counts visits and copy presses, never the names.
