How to use
01
Choose how many names
Set the How many field anywhere from 1 to 200. Ten is the default, which suits a quick mockup; push it higher when seeding a table that needs believable volume.
02
Filter by gender if needed
Pick Any, Male, or Female. Any draws first names from both pools on a coin flip, while the filtered options keep a batch consistent for persona or avatar work.
03
Regenerate and copy
Click Regenerate for a completely fresh batch, copy a single entry with the button beside it, or use Copy all to export the whole list newline separated.
Why Random Name Generator
- Generate up to 200 fake names for test data, mock UIs, or seeding.
- Mix of common US, Indian, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese surnames.
- Gender filter optional.
Common questions
How many test names can one batch produce?
Up to 200 at a time. Need more? Hit Regenerate and append the new batch to your file; a few rounds gets you a thousand rows in under a minute.
Do the random names belong to real people?
No directory is involved. First names and surnames sit in separate pools and get paired at random, so while a generated combination might coincide with someone somewhere, nothing links it to an actual record or identity.
Which naming traditions are in the name pools?
First names span common US picks alongside Indian names like Aarav, Saanvi, and Reyansh. Surnames add Patel, Sharma, Chen, Kim, Nguyen, and Tran to the Anglo staples, so a generated user list reads like a genuinely mixed population.
Why use a name generator for testing instead of production data?
Copying real customer names into staging creates a privacy liability: screenshots leak, dumps get shared, and regulations like GDPR treat names as personal data wherever they sit. Synthetic names carry zero risk and demo just as well.
Can the generated names repeat inside one batch?
Yes, sampling is done with replacement, so large batches will contain the occasional duplicate. If your seed script needs uniqueness, dedupe the pasted list or append a row number to each name.
What's the quickest way to move the names into a seed script?
Copy all puts the batch on your clipboard one name per line. From there it pastes cleanly into a spreadsheet column, a CSV, or a heredoc in your script, and splitting on newlines gives you an array.
Are non-Latin scripts included among the generated names?
No, output is Latin script only. If you're testing Unicode handling, sorting, or rendering with Devanagari, Hanzi, or Arabic text, build those fixtures by hand; this tool covers the realistic-roster case, not the full i18n matrix.
