Random Name Picker

Pick names for classrooms, giveaways, meetings, speaking order, games, and activities.

Pick names

Run the tool to place a result here. Initial HTML stays stable for hydration.

Paste or type the names you want Random Jar to use. Empty lines are ignored and your custom text stays in the browser.

Adjust the visible settings for count, duplicates, sorting, or mode when the tool offers them.

Use the repeat action to create another result from the same input without retyping everything.

Use it to call on students, choose a presenter, draw giveaway entries, rotate turns, or run a quick activity without exposing names in a share link.

A teacher can prepare a short list, run the generator, and copy the result into lesson notes or a shared slide.

A facilitator can use it to pick speaking order, split small groups, or settle a harmless tie during a call.

Does Random Jar upload my custom input?

No. These tools run in the browser and do not send your lists, names, questions, or generated results to a backend service.

Can I use the result for high-stakes decisions?

No. Random Jar is intended for low-stakes choices, examples, games, and utility tasks, not medical, legal, financial, safety, or security decisions.

Why did I get a different result after clicking again?

Each run requests fresh random values from the browser crypto API, so repeat runs are expected to produce different results.
