About this tool
Novel characters, game NPCs, test database rows, anonymized examples — placeholder names beat "Test User 1" every time. This generator combines built-in first and last name lists into realistic full names, with optional gender filtering and batch generation.
The names are randomly combined, so any resemblance to real people is coincidental — which is exactly what you want for test data.
How to use
- Choose any, male, or female first names.
- Set how many names to generate.
- Click Generate for a fresh batch.
- Copy the list or download it as text.
