Random Name Picker

How to Use

1. Enter the names you want to select from in the "Enter Names" field. You can separate names by commas or by placing each name on a new line.
2. Specify how many names you want to randomly select in the "Number of Names to Pick" field.
3. Click the "Pick Random Name(s)" button to generate your random selection.
4. The selected name(s) will appear in the results area.

Working Principle

This calculator uses a simple random selection algorithm. When you click the "Pick Random Name(s)" button, the following happens:

1. The calculator splits your input into an array of names.
2. For each name you want to select, it generates a random index within the range of available names.
3. The algorithm ensures that each selected name is unique (if multiple names are being selected).
4. The selected name(s) are displayed in the results area.

Applications

• Lottery and raffle drawings
• Team selection for sports or games
• Randomly assigning tasks or responsibilities
• Choosing a winner for competitions or events
• Randomly selecting participants for surveys or studies

Notes

Each name in your list has an equal probability of being selected. The calculator ensures randomness by using the JavaScript Math.random() function combined with proper index management.
