Last Name Generator
How to Use the Last Name Generator
The last name generator allows users to generate random last names based on different themes. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
1. Enter a First Name (Optional)
- There is an input field labeled “First Name? (optional)”. You can enter a first name here if you wish to include it with the generated last names. If you leave it blank, the generator will only output last names.
2. Select the Number of Names
- Below the first name input field, you will find two radio buttons:
- 15: Select this to generate 15 last names.
- 30: Select this to generate 30 last names.
- By default, 15 is selected. Choose the number you prefer by clicking on the corresponding radio button.
4. Choose the Theme(s)
- The section labeled “Theme?” allows you to select the theme(s) for the last names. There is a checkbox for “Random, or Select Theme(s):” which is checked by default.
- If you want random themes, you can leave this checkbox selected. If you prefer specific themes, you can select one or more checkboxes from the following list:
- Badass
- Beautiful
- Common
- Cool
- Cute
- Exotic
- Famous
- Fancy

- The generated last names will appear below the button in the

div.
6. Viewing Results
