Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the name lists?
Currently, the tool uses predefined name lists. For custom names, you can copy the generated results and modify them manually, or use the text formatter tool to process your own name lists.
How does the team distribution work?
The tool uses a round-robin method, assigning names sequentially to teams. This ensures each team gets roughly the same number of members, with any remainder distributed evenly.
Are the names truly random?
Yes, the tool uses JavaScript's Math.random() function to select names randomly from the available pools. Each generation produces different results.
Can I save the generated names?
Yes, the tool automatically saves your last generated names to browser localStorage. You can copy the results to save them permanently or use them in other applications.
What's the maximum number of names I can generate?
You can generate up to 50 names at once. For larger lists, you can run the generator multiple times and combine the results.
