What Can You Customize?

Surname: Two options — select from a built-in list of common Chinese surnames (with select-all / deselect-all), or enter your own custom surnames. Both single-character and compound surnames are supported.

Gender: Male, female, or random — affects the stylistic tendency of the characters used in the given name.

Given name length: Single character, two characters, or random.

Custom character pool: Enter preferred characters or two-character combinations (e.g., 晨曦, 博雅) and the tool will prioritize these when composing names — giving results a more personalized feel.

Quantity: Set freely — generate anywhere from a handful to thousands of unique names in one run.

How to Use the Results

Each name in the generated list has its own copy button — grab individual names as needed.

For bulk use, click Download .txt or Download .xlsx to save the full list locally. Import directly into a database or spreadsheet with no manual re-entry.

Use Cases

Software testing / development: Populating test databases and demo systems is the most common use. Generate a batch, import directly, done.

Fiction and screenwriting: Side characters, background figures, walk-on roles — they all need names. Generate a batch and pick the ones that feel right, rather than straining to invent them.

Game development: NPC name banks, tabletop RPG characters, role-playing games — generate a pool to draw from as needed.

Presentations and case studies: Use fictional names instead of real ones in example scenarios to avoid privacy issues.

Teaching and worksheets: Teachers creating example problems or sample tables need names — randomly generated ones look more natural than manually typed placeholders.

How Does This Relate to the Random Phone Number Generator?

Toolshu also has a Random Phone Number Generator (https://toolshu.com/en/phoneno) — focused specifically on generating phone numbers, with broader number prefix coverage and higher volume capacity.

If you only need phone numbers, use that one. If you need names, this is the tool. Use both together and your test data is covered in one place.
