How the score is generated
The calculator joins the two names into one lowercase string, adds up the numeric character code of every letter, and takes the remainder when that sum is divided by 101. That yields a value from 0 to 100 that is then presented as a percentage with a matching message.
Because the process is a fixed formula with no randomness, the same pair of names always produces the same score. Swapping the order of the names does not change the result either, since addition does not care about order.
A bit of fun, not a forecast
This is a novelty toy, not a relationship test. The number says nothing about two people — it is purely a function of the letters in their names, the same way an anagram or a name-length game would be. Real compatibility comes from shared values, communication and time together, none of which a string of letters can capture.
Treat the verdict as a conversation starter or an icebreaker rather than advice. It is meant to make people smile.
Ways to play
Some lighthearted ideas:
- Try nicknames or full names to see how the score shifts — small spelling changes can swing it a lot.
- Compare a few pairings for a group of friends and see who "scores" highest.
- Use it as a party game; just remember every result is decided entirely by spelling.
- Do not read anything serious into a low number — opposites and quirky matches are half the fun.
Formula
percentage = (sum of character codes of both names) mod 101Frequently asked questions
- Is this a real measure of compatibility?
- No. It is a deterministic novelty score for fun only and carries no real meaning.
