FAQ – Random Name Generator
Have questions about the Random Name Generator? Here are the most common answers.
❓ How does the Random Name Generator work?
The tool generates names based on built-in randomized patterns and user-selected options.
You can also enter your own name list for custom randomization.
❓ Can I add my own names to the list?
Yes! You can manually enter names, paste a list, or load a text file.
The wheel will spin using only the names you provide.
❓ Why is the wheel showing repeated names?
This happens if you paste names multiple times or duplicates exist.
Simply remove duplicate lines or use a “Remove Duplicates” button (optional feature).
❓ Are my names saved permanently?
Yes — names are saved automatically in your browser using LocalStorage.
They stay saved unless you clear browser data or use Incognito mode.
❓ Is my data shared or stored on your server?
No. All name lists and entries stay on your device only.
We do not store, log, or upload any personal data.
❓ Why is the wheel not spinning?
Make sure JavaScript is enabled and no ad-blockers are blocking scripts.
Try hard refreshing the page (Ctrl + F5) or switching to another browser.
❓ Can I export my name list?
Yes — use the Save button to download your names as a text file.
This allows you to use the list on any device.
❓ Why is my file not loading?
Make sure your file is a .txt file with one name per line.
Other formats like Word, PDF, or Excel will not work.
