The Random Name Generator is based on the latest programming and web technology. The random generator is programmed with newest JavaScript technologies.

JavaScript makes the Random Name Generator much faster than other name generators that usually are programmed in server side programming languages like php.

Random names

To make random names I have used public lists and chosen the 1000 most popular male names, 1000 most popular female names and 1000 most popular last names or surnames.

Real random names

Real American names are combined to new random names.

American names are very international due to the variety in the Americans cultural and ethnic background.

So beside the typical English and American names there's also lots of Latin names like Italian and Spanish names. And from northern Europe Scandinavian names and German names. From Asia there is Chinese names and from the Middle East Arab names and Jewish names.

How to make a random name

A random female name is made from a combination of random first name and a random last name. And sometimes a random middle name is added.

Male and female random names

The online random name generator makes 50% random female names and 50% random male names.

30% of both male and female random names are given a middle name. An in 10% of the names the middle name will be a name for the opposite sex or a surname.

So eg a female random name would have a male first name as a middle name or a surname as middle name. And vice versa the boy name wold have a girls name or surname for the middle name.

List of random names

All the random names are saved to a list, so you can save the names for later.

Cool random names

The random name generator will often surprise with cool random names. Randomness gives cool random names.

When we try to make random names our self we usually keep thinking in the same tracks. We have usually a limited numbers of real names to chose from.

Try for example to write down all the male fist names you know. In best you probably only remember only a couple of hundred different male names. But trying to make your own random names is of course also limited by our personal preferences for names.

Bad random names

There will of course also a be a lot of bad random names. Random names that sounds stupid, ridiculous or just plain bad names.

A random name generator has no way to decide if a random name has the quality a good name should have.
