Trying to come up with names on your own can seem impossible. It is possible to make a few dozen but then you may find yourself repeating names even though there are estimated to be thousands of names in common use in just English alone. Use this tool to quickly generate names for web form testing, web development tasks and spreadsheet filler where needed. It is important to test names that include uncommon characters that may be present in romance languages such as Spanish and German, as well as non-latin character sets from Cyrilic languages and others. The prefixes and suffixes in this name generation tool also provide varying lengths to test overflow cases.

It is simple to use this tool. Simply select how many name you want to generate, the minimum being a single name and maximum being 100 randomly generated names. Next, select the gender of the names you want to be randomly generated. You can generate both male and female names if the ‘Any’ option is selected. The next step is to select the language of the names you want to generate. Keep in mind that names generated using languages that do not use the latin alphabet, such as Chinese (Mandarin) or Korean will yield results with names using that language’s native character set.

Finally, select the format of the names that are returned as results. Most commonly you will want names returned in the ‘Plain’ format, if you understand the computing uses for JSON, use the ‘JSON’ format.
