Welcome to the exciting world of coding, and I am glad I am responding to your first issue/question ever on github.

For writing code for a wheel of names, or wheel spinner, is not beginner level coding exercise. Also just using html and css you may not be able to do that, you will need Javascript at least.

The spinning a wheel has a lot of historical significance, however, for learning how to code, it is pretty much the same as having an array of names and random number generation.

A very simple example would be:

const names = [];

names.push('Alice');
names.push('Bob');
names.push('John');
names.push('Jane');
names.push('Tyler');

const getRandomName = (namesArray) => {
  // Math.random() gives you a pseudo random floating point number between 0 and 1
  // because max value would be 1 from the random, we can multiple with our desired max value
  // to get a random number between 0 and our max value (max index of the array)
  const randomNumber = Math.random() * (namesArray.length - 1);
  return namesArray[Math.round(randomNumber)];
};

console.log(getRandomName(names));
