About the random name generator
LetsSpin's random name generator is a free tool for picking random names from any list you paste in. Teachers use it to choose which student answers next without bias. Event organizers use it to draw raffle and giveaway winners fairly. Team leads use it to pick a random person for standup, assign tasks, or split groups.
Names are picked with the browser's window.crypto.getRandomValues() API — the same cryptographic source used for security tokens — so every name on your list has a genuinely equal chance of being picked. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and there's no signup. If you need to draw multiple winners, set how many names to pick and the generator will return that many unique names in one round. Toggle "remove picked names" to make sure the same name isn't picked twice across rounds.
Looking for something more visual? Try our random name picker wheel for an animated spin, or the raffle winner picker for larger giveaways with winner history and restore-to-pool.
Frequently asked questions
How does the random name generator work?
+
Paste a list of names — one per line — and click Pick a random name. We use the browser's window.crypto.getRandomValues() to choose a name with cryptographic-grade randomness, so every name in your list has an equal chance of being picked.
Can I generate multiple random names at once?
+
Yes. Set the number of names you want to pick (1–10) and the generator will draw that many unique names from your list in a single round.
Is the random name generator free?
+
Yes, LetsSpin's random name generator is completely free with no signup, no ads, and no daily limits. Use it for raffles, classroom name picking, giveaways, team assignments, or any random selection.
Do you store the names I paste?
+
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your name list is never uploaded, stored, or shared.
Can I use it to pick a random student in class?
+
Yes — paste your class roster, choose 1 name, and click pick. Toggle 'remove picked name' so the same student isn't picked twice in a row.
