Wheel of 1000 Names: a big, fun random name picker
Need a quick way to choose a name without the back-and-forth? This Wheel of 1000 Names page starts with a ready-to-use list (including entries like Jack, Lilly, Kat, Alex, Mel, Luna, Lunar, Ice, Kayla, eille, Amy, Isaac, Henry, Kelly, Angel, Cat, Kitty, Emma) and makes random picking feel effortless.
What this wheel is great for
- Classroom picks: choose a student for questions or presentations
- Games & challenges: assign roles, turns, or dares
- Teams & pairings: quickly select leaders or volunteers
- Creative prompts: pick a character name when you’re stuck
Customize the list (and keep it fair)
Click Edit to tailor the wheel to your group. You can:
- Add or remove names
- Rename entries to match your roster
- Use weights when you want certain names to appear more (or less)
Tip: if you’re aiming for “everyone has the same chance,” keep all weights equal.
No-repeat picking with elimination mode
For turn order, drafts, or “everyone gets picked once,” turn on elimination mode. After each result, that name drops out—so the next pick is always someone new.
