Frequently asked questions
- Are these names real people?
- No. Names are assembled by randomly combining first names and last names from curated lists of common English surnames and gender-neutral given names. Any resemblance to a real person is coincidental.
- Can I use these names in a database or prototype?
- Yes, that's the primary use case. These names work well as placeholder data in mockups, UI demos, test databases, or sample datasets.
- Are the names gender-neutral?
- The first name list intentionally uses gender-neutral names (Alex, Jordan, Riley, etc.) so the generated names don't skew toward a particular gender.
- How do I copy a name?
- Click any name in the list and it is copied to your clipboard instantly.
