Frequently Asked Questions
Is the love calculator actually accurate?+−
Honestly? No — and that is the point. It is a fun entertainment tool, not a relationship counselor. The algorithm generates a percentage based on your names, not your personality. Real compatibility comes from communication, trust, and shared values. But if you got 95% with your crush, we are not going to stop you from screenshotting it.
How does the love calculator work?+−
It takes the characters from both names, runs them through a FLAMES-based algorithm (a classic name game played in schools worldwide), and generates a unique percentage. The same two names always produce the same score, but even a small spelling change gives a completely different result.
Can I use celebrity names?+−
Absolutely — that is half the fun. Test your compatibility with Shah Rukh Khan, Taylor Swift, or whoever your celebrity crush is. It works with any two names, real or fictional.
Why do I get different scores with slightly different names?+−
The algorithm is character-based. "Raj" and "Rajesh" are treated as different inputs, producing different hashes. Even adding a middle name changes the result. Try different variations and see which one gives you the highest score!
Is it completely free?+−
Yes — test as many name combinations as you want. No signup, no limits, no ads interrupting your love calculations.
Can I share my result on social media?+−
Of course — that is what makes it viral. Screenshot the result or use the built-in share button for WhatsApp, Instagram Stories, or Twitter. High scores make great Valentine Day posts.
What is the FLAMES game?+−
FLAMES stands for Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings. It is a classic paper-and-pen game where you cross out common letters in two names, count the remaining ones, and cycle through F-L-A-M-E-S to get your result. Our calculator uses a more sophisticated version of this concept.
Does it work on phones?+−
Yes — works perfectly on any smartphone browser. In fact, most people use it on mobile since love calculator searches spike late at night on phones.
