The random selector has been tested statistically through simulations so you can be assured it is doing its job of giving each name an equal chance of being picked on any particular draw from the virtual urn / bag of names. The RNG algorithm is cryptographically safe, results in an unbiased pick, and can be used instead of a coin, dice, or another more primitive randomizing device (which might actually be biased due to imperfect construction).
#RANDOM NUMBER PICKER GENERATOR GENERATOR#
Our software name picker first assigns incremental integer IDs to each name you enter, then uses a robust random number generator to produce a number in the range from minimum to maximum. 100 Random numbers - generate a 100 random. Random number 1 - 100 - quickly generate a random number between 1 and 100.

In general, we cannot predict the exact number that it generates.

Random number 1 - 10 - quickly generate a random number between 1 and 10. A random number generator is a process of generating an irregular number sequence. These Number Generators lets you generate many types of different numbers, randomly or in sequence. If you picked a lot of names, don't forget that you can easily select them all (Cltr+A on a PC) and them copy and paste as you wish. Here are some more Predefined Number Generators. The maximum names the name picker can pick for you in one go is 1,000. You start in similar fashion to how you would draw one random name from a list, but you need to change the default value of the "Number of names to pick" field from 1 to as many as you'd like to select from the provided list.

It's work is equivalent to rolling a dice with as many sides as there are names - each one has an equal probability to be picked. Then simply press the "Pick a Random Name" button and let our randomizer do its job. Our random name picker can handle up to 10,000 names. Copy/paste from a spreadsheet works very well. To generate a single random name, start by feeding the tool with a list of names, one name per row (where "one name" can consist of first and last name, etc.).
