The name randomizer from a list is pretty simple and straightforward. Once you choose it, a box will appear and all you need to do is paste your list of names into the name randomizer. The first way this can be used is as a random name picker. In this case, you choose the number of names you want to appear. For example, if you’re picking a single winner from a list of names, you would choose “1” and the one name generated would be the winner. If you wanted the random name picker to choose two winners, you would choose “2” and two names from the list would appear. Another example of using this as a name picker is if you want to make two teams out of a list of names. If you had 30 people on the list and you wanted two teams, you would choose “15” and the fifteen random names that showed up from the list would be one team while the other 15 names would be the other team.
