Random Name Wheel
What is the Random Name Wheel?
The Random Name Wheel is a free online tool developed by the Ruletaa team. By spinning the wheel, you can randomly select a target name. You can spin a single wheel multiple times or spin multiple wheels at once to pick several names in one go.
Our motivation for designing and developing this random name generator was to provide a convenient and efficient decision-making experience for different user scenarios, allowing you to focus your energy and attention on what matters most.
We believe the Random Name Generator is useful far beyond these scenarios. You can customize its use for any situation. If you have suggestions or feedback, feel free to contact us on the Feedback Page.
How to Use the Random Name Wheel?
1. Confirm the List of Names to Randomly Select From
You can type or paste your list of names into our editor.
We also provide an advanced input form, allowing you to customize each entry’s background color, content, weight, and visibility.
There is no limit to the number of names, but as the number increases, each name’s segment on the wheel becomes smaller. For better display and visibility, please keep the number of names on each wheel reasonable.
2. Confirm the Number of Wheels
By default, we provide a single random name wheel. You can add or remove wheels as needed using the toolbar.
3. Click the Random Name Picker or the Start Icon on the Toolbar
Clicking the wheel will only spin the current wheel. If you have multiple wheels and want them to spin simultaneously, click the start icon. After a few seconds, the Random Name Picker will announce the selected names.
4. View History Results
We’ve designed a detailed history tracker for each wheel. Click the tab as shown to view all past results. If needed, you can click the save or share button to keep or share the history for future reference.
For more details, see the Comprehensive Toolbar Guide.
