Random Name Picker

Random Name Picker helps you choose people, entries, or options from a simple line-by-line list. Use it for classrooms, giveaways, meeting roles, or small decisions, with an optional no-replacement mode that removes picked names from the list.

FAQ

Are my names uploaded anywhere?
No. The picking logic runs in your browser, and the list is not sent to a server.
Can I pick several names at once?
Yes. Enter the number you need and use Pick N to draw multiple results from the current list.
What does remove after picking do?
When enabled, picked names are removed from the textarea so they cannot be picked again in the next draw.
Do blank lines count?
No. Blank lines are ignored; only lines with text are used as entries.
