About Random Name
Random Name combines a first name and a surname from curated lists of real names used around the world, so results sound like real people rather than gibberish. Choose female, male or unisex first names, or leave it on any.
Writers use it for characters, game masters for NPCs, developers for realistic test data. Names are combined at random, so any resemblance to a real person is coincidental.
Ideas
- Writers: generate five and pick the one that fits your character.
- Need test data? Copy each result in turn.
How it works
Each result is built from independently chosen random parts, so the ideas practically never run out: there are about 227,000 possible combinations. Every pick uses a cryptographically secure random number generator — your browser's, which the operating system keeps seeded with physical noise from your device's hardware — so there are no patterns and no favourites.
Without JavaScript the button still works: our edge servers make the pick instead, using Cloudflare's secure random number generator, whose entropy famously includes LavaRand — a wall of lava lamps.
