How to Build Your Own Examples
- Take a task already on your calendar for this week.
- Write the brief in two sentences: the job and the audience.
- Generate, compare against the version you would have written manually.
- Save the prompt alongside the result so the second run takes seconds.
Getting More From Each Example
Most people stop at the first result. Generate a second version with one changed variable - length, tone or angle - and compare. The better version usually appears on the second run, not the first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the names come from?
They are drawn from bundled given name lists grouped by origin and style, with the filters narrowing what a batch can return.
Can I pick by gender?
Yes - set the gender filter and every name in the batch matches the option you chose.
Will I always get different names?
No - each batch is an independent draw, so a name can reappear, especially in a narrow filtered list.
Are my generated names stored?
No - they are built in your browser and nothing is kept after you refresh.
