If they have already provided that information you can then concatenate the information in a single string object and use it as a name. // PENN deptName randomNumbers are variables for those values var name = PENN + deptName + randomNumbers; // use name as needed. If you want random numbers generated on the runtime then you can use the Random object of .NET framework to generate a number in between 1000-9999. Something like this var random = new Random(); // Min = 1000 max = 9999 var randomNumber = random.Next(1000 9999); This way you will get 4 digit random number that you can use for your name variable.
