Name generator vs. name picker
This page creates names from a built-in list. If you already have a list of real people and want to choose one of them, use the Name Picker Wheel instead.
Where the names come from
The generator mixes common first names and surnames used in English-speaking countries, plus some widely used South Asian, Middle Eastern and East Asian names. It is a fun, illustrative list — not a statistical sample of any population.
Ideas
- Writers — names for side characters.
- Games and role-play — quick NPC or player names.
- Teachers — names for word problems and examples.
- Developers and designers — placeholder names for mock-ups and test data.
A note on real people
Generated full names are random combinations, but some will match real people. Don't use them to imply that a real person said or did something.

How many names can I generate?
Up to 100 per click, with no duplicates in a single batch.
