FAQ
- How does the name picker work?
- Paste your list of names, set how many to pick, and click Pick. The tool uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle to ensure unbiased random selection.
- Can I pick multiple names?
- Yes. Set the count to pick 2, 3, 5, or any number up to your total list size. Selected names are unique (no repeats).
- Are names stored anywhere?
- No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Names are never sent to a server.
- What formats are accepted?
- One name per line, or comma-separated. Both formats work, and you can mix them.
- Is it fair?
- Yes. The selection uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle which gives every name an equal probability of being picked.
