About My Wheel Name

My Wheel Name is a free, browser-based spinning wheel for picking names, making decisions, and settling anything a group can't agree on. Type in names, load a preset, or import a class roster, then spin — one wheel, one fair answer, and nobody can blame the person who picked. The core tool is free, runs entirely in your browser, and doesn't require an account. Signing in is optional and only needed to save wheels or share them with a link. There is no paid tier: every preset, customization option, and game mode is available to everyone.

The site is operated by Monaross, trading as My Wheel Name — the same operator named in our Privacy Policy. It is an independent project built and maintained by a small team that uses the wheel for the same things you do: classroom picks, giveaway draws, movie nights, and the eternal "where are we eating" debate. Everything published here — presets, guides, and articles — is written and reviewed by the team that builds the tool, so feature descriptions match how the wheel actually behaves.

Every spin uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), not the weaker Math.random() many casual tools rely on. Every entry has an equal chance on every spin unless you deliberately add weights; there is no streak memory, so no outcome is ever "due"; and spins are computed on your device — we don't log individual results on a server. Preset data comes from clearly identified sources: TMDb for movie pickers, the Open Trivia Database for trivia wheels, Google local data for Nearby Places, and curated team lists for sports wheels. The site is funded by advertising through Google AdSense — that's the trade that keeps the wheel free, with no paywall and no selling of wheel content. Questions, corrections, or ideas?

Questions, answered

Is the About My Wheel Name free to use?

Yes. The wheel runs entirely in your browser, no account required for the basic spin. Sign in only if you want to save custom wheels or share them with a link.

Can I customise the About My Wheel Name?

Yes. You can edit the entries, change segment colours, add weights so certain options come up more often, switch sounds, and pick winner behaviour (single pick, multi-pick, or eliminate-after-pick).

Is the spin actually random?

Yes. The result uses the browser's cryptographic random source, so every option has an equal chance unless you've weighted entries. There's no house bias and no remembered "due" outcomes.

Does the wheel work on phones?

Yes. The wheel is fully responsive, so spinning on a phone or tablet works the same as desktop. Touch controls feel natural and the wheel scales to whatever screen you've got.
