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.

How-toHow to Pick a Name at Random — Without Anyone Doubting the ResultA fair draw needs more than a random number: equal probability, no reuse of a biased method, and a result someone else can check. Here is how to run one.GuidePythagorean or Chaldean: Two Charts, One Name, Two NumbersThe two letter charts in circulation give the same name the same number only 10.3 % of the time, barely more than the one-in-nine you would get by drawing lots.

Everything comes from a day, a month, a year and a name — and two of the seven are arithmetic restatements of the others, which is worth knowing before reading them as seven separate findings.GuideThe Letter Y Decides Your Soul Urge NumberThe soul urge adds only the vowels, so the entire calculation turns on whether Y is one. Mary Taylor reads 6, 22 or 8 depending on the rule you apply, and every name in a 1,200-name corpus that contains a Y changes when you flip the setting.GuideLife Path: Two Methods, and One Date in Seven DisagreesAdd the digits of the whole date, or reduce day, month and year first and then add: two textbook methods for the same life path.
