Is the name picker truly random?

Yes. Each pick uses your browser's random number generator, so the same list can produce a different name every time you tap Pick again.

How many names can I add?

Up to sixty. Anything more and the drum gets a bit dizzy — split the list into a couple of rounds.

What separates the names?

New lines and commas. Paste from a spreadsheet, a chat, or type them straight in — the picker cleans up spacing and duplicates for you.

Will the same name come up twice in a row?

Almost never. When you re-pick, the drum quietly avoids the last winner so consecutive draws feel like the drum actually spun.

Is my list stored anywhere?

No. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved — the names live only in this tab and disappear when you close it.

Name Picker

Drop a list. Get one name.

Type or paste any list of names — commas or new lines — and let the drum spin. Tap re-pick as many times as you like. No sign-ups, no accounts, and the list disappears with the tab.

Name Picker — How it works

1
Type or paste every name into the box, one per line or separated by commas.
2
Duplicates are removed automatically, and casing is ignored.
3
Tap Pick one — the drum spins and lands on a single name.
4
Not the outcome you wanted? Tap Pick again for a fresh draw. There's no limit.
