Buyer's guide

How to choose a random name picker

If you just need a random name right now with no preparation, go with the tool that launches instantly and needs no list entry. If you are picking names from an existing group—like a class, team, or event roster—choose the tool that lets you import that list and track who has already been chosen.

Questions

Random Name Picker FAQ

Can I use these tools without creating an account?
Yes, both tools are free to use without signing up. CodeBeautify generates names immediately, while FunRandomizer saves your list in your browser until you clear it.
What if I need to pick names without repeating anyone?
FunRandomizer has a no-repeat mode that removes each selected name from the pool until the round is complete. CodeBeautify does not track repeats, so you would need to manage that manually.
Can I import a spreadsheet of names into either tool?
FunRandomizer supports importing CSV or Google Sheets data. CodeBeautify does not have an import function; you would enter names manually or rely on its predefined lists.
Do the results from these tools have any bias?
Both tools select entries at random from the input you provide. CodeBeautify uses internal datasets for its default suggestions, while FunRandomizer picks from whatever list you paste or import.
Is there a limit to how many names I can enter?
The material does not specify character or entry limits for either tool. If you have a very long list, testing a small subset first is recommended.
