Free random name picker

Paste a list, clean duplicates, and randomly pick one or more names—optional elimination so winners leave the pool. Lists stay in this browser.

Fair Name Picker is a random name selector for teachers, meeting hosts, facilitators, and casual giveaways. Enter one name per line, review duplicates, then choose one or several winners. Elimination mode removes already-picked names from later rounds. Lists and history stay in this browser. Selection is random among the eligible names you entered—it does not verify identity, eligibility, consent, or contest rules, and it is not a certified raffle service.

Quick start

1. Paste or type one name per line in the list field.
2. Review duplicate warnings and dedupe if you want each person counted once.
3. Choose how many names to pick and whether elimination removes past winners from the pool.
4. Reveal results, copy them, or save the list under a name for reuse on this device.

Picker workflows for hosts

• Classroom turn: Paste student names, dedupe them, and pick one presenter.
• Team order: Use Random order to shuffle the whole list for speaking sequence.
• Casual giveaway: Draw three winners with elimination so each name appears once.

Limitations

• The picker cannot verify identity, eligibility, consent, or whether a list was entered correctly.
• It does not provide legal contest compliance, audit logs for regulators, or certified raffle documentation.
