select random item from list

Let me start by setting context - I am an artist and am trying to simplify/randomize a drawing exercise. I have a folder of random poses and use Mac Shortcuts to select a random image from a folder, and am looking for a way to select a random item from a list - to randomly assign a character to the pose. The list could be in Word, Excel, anything. And doesnt have to be connected to the image grab.

What would be the easiest way for me to do this? Which program should the list be in and what method used to randomly pick from it? ANY help would be greatly appreciated, yall are awesome.
