Quick Tool Overview

The Name Generator combines bundled first and last name lists with genuine variety in length and origin, so a column of test names exercises a layout the way real users will — long surnames, hyphenated names and diacritics included, rather than a page of John Smiths.

About the Name Generator

Test data full of "John Smith" tells you nothing about whether your layout handles a long surname, a hyphenated name or a name with a diacritic. Character names invented on the spot all end up sounding the same. Both problems want the same tool.

This generates names from bundled first and last name lists with genuine variety in length and origin, so a column of them exercises a design the way real users will. Formats include first name only, full name, surname-first, and initials. Nothing here corresponds to a specific real person — the parts are combined at random — and everything is generated in your browser, which matters when the alternative is pasting real customer names into a mockup.

Key features of the Name Generator

Real variety

A range of lengths and origins, which is what finds the layout problems short English names hide.

Four formats

First name, full name, surname first, or initials — whichever the field expects.

No real individuals

Parts are combined at random from separate lists, so no generated name is drawn from a real record.

Bulk output

Hundreds of names at once as lines, comma separated or CSV.

Runs in your browser

Which is the point, since the alternative is pasting real customer names into a mockup.

    One per line, comma separated, or as CSV.

Frequently asked questions

No. First and last names are combined at random from separate lists of common names, so a generated combination does not correspond to any specific individual — though with common names, coincidences are inevitable.
