Frequently Asked Questions

Is the name picker fair for classroom use?

Yes. Every name has an exactly equal chance of being selected. The randomness is cryptographic, which is more fair than drawing from a physical hat.

Can I remove picked names so they aren't chosen again?

After a name is picked, you can remove it from the list to ensure everyone gets a turn before names repeat.
