how do i use a name picker?

A name picker is a tool that helps you choose random names from a set of entries. From pools of talent, lucky draws and fun activities, a name picker often provides the perfect solution for. But given the sheer amount of free name pickers available online, how do you most effectively use one?

First and foremost, decide what type of name picker you are looking for: whether it is a basic generator or a custom wheel spinner that shorts out names with specific criteria set by yourself. Similarly, consider the number of entrants you have in your pool and whether it can easily fit into the system.

Next, enter all your desired entrants into the system and make sure they are spaced accordingly so that they are absolutely clear when you select them as your choices. This could be as easy as typing them in manually or uploading any kind of spreadsheet that contains their entries in tabular format.

If your system supports (like most do) features such as using filters or re-adjusting certain fields, don't hesitate to tinker with those settings to customize it to your heart's content. These include options like the type of results you want (lucky draws or picking from random options) along with preferences like exclusion settings for less desirable choices or lesser used entries in case more people end up submitting similar options.
