Frequently asked questions
- How do I generate random names?
- Pick a region (or "Any" for a mix), choose how many names you want and click Generate. The names appear instantly — click Copy to grab them.
- Are the names real?
- The first and last names are drawn from real-world census and cultural name databases. The combinations are random, so a generated full name is almost certainly not a real person.
- Which regions are included?
- English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arabic and Brazilian names, plus a mixed "Any" option.
- Is the randomness truly random?
- Yes — we use crypto.getRandomValues(), the same cryptographically secure API used for password generation.
- Can I use these names for testing?
- Yes — randomly-generated names are perfect for test data, mock-ups, game characters, writing prompts and placeholder content.
- Do you store the names I generate?
- No — everything runs in your browser. Close the tab and the names are gone.
- Is there a limit on how many names I can generate?
- You can generate up to 100 names at a time. Run it again for more.
- Can I generate only first names or only last names?
- The tool generates full names (first + last). Copy the list and remove the part you don't need, or use the Copy First Names / Copy Last Names buttons.
- Are the names culturally appropriate?
- We use names drawn from public census data and cultural name lists. The random pairings within a region are plausible, though some combinations may be unusual.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes — the tool runs in any modern browser on desktop and mobile.
