Mike's Name Generator randomly generates ten names from a list of 5011 first names and 15739 last names, which - unless my calculations are off - means that there are 78,868,129 possible combinations. That should be enough for most writers' needs. But if the "Middle names" option is selected, that brings the number of combinations up to 395,208,194,419. If that's not enough, then you're on your own.
If none of the ten generated names rings your bell, simply click on the "Make More Names!" button to generate a new list of ten. If you see a name you like, click its "Copy" button to copy it into the computer's clipboard (from where it can then be pasted into your chosen word-processor). If you happen to like all the names, simply click the "Copy All" button.

| 1.02 | 2009-09-27 | Converted the program to Flash - no more need for downloading and installation, plus it now works on non-Windows computers! (As long as they have Flash installed) |
| 1.01 | 2009-08-17 |
Fixed a minor bug that prevented the filtering of names that have upper-case characters after the first letter
(thanks to my old school pal Jerry McCrohan for spotting that one!). For speed and efficiency the name lists are now embedded in the program. |

If you like this program and find it useful, don't worry - you don't have to pay me anything! But if you're feeling generous then please buy one of my books to demonstrate your gratitude. Feel free to recommend Mike's Name Generator to everyone you've ever met, or even only heard of!
