What it is for
Character names for stories and games, placeholder names for mockups, and anonymous labels for examples. For picking winners from your own list, use the wheel spinner or list randomizer.
Original names, zero repeats
Placeholder names leak into production more often than anyone admits, so generated names beat John Doe and Test User from the start. Generate a batch of 50 for mockups, then filter by gender and toggle surnames to match the locale you are designing for. Writers use the same flow for minor characters: generate freely, keep the one that fits, and nobody meets Character_01.
