Random American Names Generator

What is this generator?

The US Names Generator creates random American first and last names — male, female, or any — with realistic US frequency distribution. Ideal for database seeds, UI mockups, QA fixtures, and any scenario requiring plausible names without production data.

How to use

1. Select gender and quantity.
2. Click Generate to create the list of names.
3. Use Copy to carry the names into your test or seed.

Practical example

Extract generated names with Playwright to use in forms or seeds:

await page.goto('https://4devtool.com/us/us-names-generator/')
await page.click('button:has-text("Generate")')
const names = await page.locator('.react-list-output code').allInnerTexts()
await page.fill('#fullName', names[0])
// or use names.join('
') for database seeding

Adjust the quantity before generating to get exactly the volume you need.
