Random Name Picker

Reference

How does the name picker work?

This tool uses a partial Fisher-Yates shuffle with crypto.getRandomValues() to select the requested number of unique names from your list. Each name has exactly equal probability of being chosen — no name can be picked twice in a single draw. The algorithm is the same used in professional lottery systems.

Common uses

• Raffles & giveaways — fairly select winners from a list of participants.
• Classroom activities — randomly call on students or assign groups.
• Team selection — pick team captains or assign random partners.
• Decision making — randomly select from a list of options when you can't decide.
