This page generates random names using the one thousand most common
last names from the
2010 US census;
the one thousand most common 2025 female given names from
SSA;
as well as the one thousand most common 2025 male given names
from
SSA. First and last names are combined randomly when the page loads.
Odd-numbered first names are female and even-numbered first names
are male. Duplicate first name–last name combinations are improbable
since the page can produce 2M different names; however no duplicate
check is performed, since it is possible for real names to be
identical as well. We made this page (random name picker) because we needed a quick way to get a long list of random names for use in create the best names for your characters.
