How Our Random Name Picker Works
Our random name picker wheel uses a fair pseudo‑random selection approach. The wheel is divided into equal segments based on the number of entries you provide, and each segment has an equal probability of being selected. The spinning animation uses realistic physics to create an engaging experience while maintaining the integrity of the selection process.
The tool is built with modern web technologies including HTML5 Canvas for smooth animations, CSS3 for beautiful styling, and vanilla JavaScript for optimal performance. This ensures that the random name picker works seamlessly across all modern browsers and devices.
