FAQ

Questions & answers

Everything about how the name picker works.

Is the name picker truly random? +

Yes. Each pick uses your browser's cryptographic-grade random generator, so every name in the list has an equal chance.

How many names can I add? +

As many as you like — one name per line. The picker works the same whether you have two names or two hundred.

Can I pick more than one winner? +

Yes. After a pick, choose "Remove & pick again" to take the winner out of the pool and draw the next name.

Do I need an account? +

No. Random Name Picker is completely free with no sign-up, no limits, and no watermark.
