Name Generator

What it does

The Name Generator produces clearly synthetic person names — first names, last names, or full names — up to 100 per run. It’s the no-frills random name generator for test data: seeded, so the same cast returns for every test run, and exportable as text, CSV, or JSON.

Common use cases

• Test data — name columns for users, authors, and assignees in fixtures and seeds.
• UI development — realistic name lengths and shapes for lists, cards, and truncation testing.
• Writing — quick character names when the placeholder “Bob” wears thin.
• Examples and docs — names that are obviously fictional for screenshots and tutorials.

Settings

• Part — first names, last names, or full names.
• How many — 1 to 100 per run (presets from 1 to 100).
• Seed — the same seed and settings regenerate the identical list.

Privacy note

Names are generated locally in your browser from built-in lists and never uploaded. They are fictional — not sampled from real records — and must not be treated as identity data. Coincidence with real people is inevitable with common names and means nothing.

FAQ

Are these names of real people? No — they’re assembled from name pools. Any match with a real person is coincidence, the same way a phone book and a novel share names.

Can I get names with emails and phone numbers? The Fake Profile generator builds full identities; the Fake User Dataset makes whole tables. This tool is deliberately minimal — just names, fast.

Do repeated runs give the same names? Only if you keep the seed. Same seed + settings = same list; new seed = fresh cast.
