## Description

RandomName is a Chrome extension that helps writers generate original, culturally diverse character names. You can set the nationality for the first and/or last name, enabling authentic cultural flavor for your stories. With 22,420 first names and 169,725 last names across diverse options (USA, Hispanic, UK, Chinese, Czech, German, French, Russian, Italian, Irish, Dutch, Polish), you’ll have plenty of options to craft distinctive characters from any background.

Extras include a Favorites list to save and export names, a social sharing feature to show off clever options, eye-catching graphics, and it's free to use.

## Review summary

Most reviews are negative, centering on deceptive billing (free trial leading to an automatic yearly charge), opaque pricing, and difficulty canceling. The $30/year price is seen as steep, with many users feeling scammed. A few notes praise name-generation usefulness and the ability to save favorites, but overall sentiment is dominated by billing issues and concerns about name diversity.

### Pros

- Useful for generating names for characters/OC creation
- Ability to save favorites and export saved names
- Some users report long-term usefulness and continued use for naming

### Cons

- Automatic charges when starting a free trial or after selecting the free trial (full-year charge)
- Free trial is perceived as misleading and not clearly presented
- Difficult to cancel or locate the cancel option in subscriptions
- High price around $30/year (perceived as steep)
- Limited cultural diversity and occasional implausible or inappropriate name results
