Name Compatibility Calculator

Enter two names to see a playful compatibility score out of 100, calculated from letter values and shared characters. It's deterministic, symmetric, and not a real measure of romantic compatibility.

Rearrange the letters of your name and the score will not move 🖖

This is a hash dressed as a fortune teller, and the giveaway is in what it looks at. It adds up the alphabet position of every letter in both names and counts how many distinct letters they share, then takes the result modulo 101. Nothing in that recipe cares about order, so any anagram scores identically โ€” Alice and Bob score 40, and so do Ecila and Bob. It is symmetric for the same reason, so the score never depends on who is entered first. And with only 101 possible outputs, every score is shared by an unbounded number of unrelated pairs. It is a deterministic party trick: reproducible, order-blind, and carrying no information whatsoever about the two people.

  • Romeo & Juliet - Romeo and Juliet score 4%, which the readout calls low โ€” for entertainment only
  • Spock & Uhura - Spock and Uhura โ€” 22%
  • Alice & Bob - Alice and Bob land on 40%, described as middling โ€” where most name pairs end up
