Random Name Picker
Pick a random name from a list, fairly.
A fair draw from a list
When you need to choose one name from many — a raffle winner, whose turn it is, a random selection — doing it fairly by hand is awkward. This picks a name at random from your list, giving everyone an equal chance without any bias.
Enter your names and pick one at random.
Fairness people can trust
The value of a random picker is not just convenience but trust: when a choice is made by hand, there is always a suspicion, fair or not, that it was steered, whereas a visible random draw is transparently impartial. This matters for giveaways and prize draws, where being seen to be fair is as important as being fair, and for everyday decisions where you want to take the choice out of anyone's hands. It also removes the subtle favouritism that can creep into picking someone yourself, even unintentionally. For anything from choosing a winner to deciding who goes first, a random pick gives an outcome that everyone can accept as genuinely fair, which is often exactly the point of leaving it to chance.

Does everyone have an equal chance?
