Name picker wheel

Random name picker for fair choices.

Paste a list of names, spin the wheel, and let fate pick one name for classroom activities, giveaways, meeting order, or group games.

Open the Name Picker

Use the name picker when everyone should have the same chance and the result needs to be visible. Add one name per line, then spin once to choose a person.

FAQ

Random name picker FAQ

Is a name picker wheel fair?

Each listed name gets one visible wheel segment. For equal chances, add each name once.

Can I add the same name more than once?

Yes, but repeated names increase that person's chance of being picked. Use this only when weighting is intentional.
