Frequently asked questions
What does Name Randomizer do?
Shuffle a name list, pick winners, or split it into balanced random groups.
When would I actually use this?
Producing something plausible on demand: a name for a pet or a domain, a sentence to test a layout with, a cocktail for what is already in the cupboard, a character sheet to start a campaign — and the throwaway identities a form needs before it can be tested at all.
What is the most common mistake?
Letting a generated identity out of the test environment. A fake address, a valid-looking card number and a plausible name are built to pass a form's checks, which is exactly what makes them dangerous once a real record is created from them — and a generated domain or pet name still has to be checked for a trademark nobody here can see.
How is Name Randomizer different from List Randomizer?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: List Randomizer is the one to open when you need it to paste one item per line and get the whole list back in a random order, numbered or plain. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Number Randomizer is the closest one after this: Shuffle a list or a range into a random order with an unbiased Fisher–Yates shuffle.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Random Cat/Dog Name Generator and Random Domain Name Generator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Randomness comes from the browser's cryptographic source, so an identifier is safe to use as a key. The card numbers satisfy the Luhn check and the issuer prefixes precisely so a payment form will accept them in test mode; no account stands behind any of them.
