    About this tool

    Enter names, spin the wheel, and select someone fairly. Great for classrooms, meetings and giveaways.

    The Random Name Picker works like a classic spinner: every option on the wheel has a chance to win. Edit the list to match your situation, then spin when you are ready. Prefer the general tool? Open the homepage Spin the Wheel.

    How to use

    1. Review or edit the options.
    2. Tap Spin.
    3. Use the result, or spin again.

    Make the most of it

    • Keep options clear and short so labels stay readable
    • Shuffle if you want a fresh visual order (odds stay the same)
    • Copy the page link to reuse the same tool later
    • Spin again if you need a second random result

    When this wheel helps

    Use Random Name Picker for low-stakes decisions, classroom activities, games, group choices and quick tie-breakers. For important legal, medical or financial decisions, treat the result as a nudge — not the final answer.

    Fair spinning checklist

    1. Add every eligible option once.
    2. Remove anything that should not win.
    3. Spin once, announce the result, then continue.
