About

This site exists for one job — a random name generator that gives a clear answer quickly and shows how it was reached.

Testing before every update

Before an update is published, the tool runs through 141 automated checks in a real browser: worked examples are recalculated, edge cases and wrong input are tried, and the layout is checked on desktop and on a phone.

Sources

Explanations are based on primary sources and recognised references, which are linked in the text (for example w3.org, rfc-editor.org, en.wikipedia.org).

Our approach

The editorial team writes for one reader: someone who needs a reliable answer now. That means worked examples, units spelled out, honest limits and no sponsored recommendations.

Keeping it current

First published October 8, 2026; last updated October 12, 2026. If you spot an error or a case the tool handles badly, please tell us through the contact page — corrections are reviewed and published in the next update.

Funding

The tool is free to use. The site is funded by advertising, which never influences results or explanations.
