About the Love Calculator
This love calculator is a playful toy, not a scientific test. Enter two names and it produces a love percentage between 1 and 100, with a short message to match. The score is calculated from the letters of both names, so the same pair always gives the same answer whichever order you type them. It also plays FLAMES, a classic school-yard game in which the letters the two names share are crossed out and the rest decide whether the pair are Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies or Siblings. Nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere.

How to get the most fun from it
Try first names only, then full names, then nicknames, and see how the score changes. Use it as a party game, a way to tease friends, a conversation starter or a classroom icebreaker. Because the answer is steady, you can compare scores in a group and see who gets the highest match. Treat low scores with a smile, since no calculator knows the people involved.
Understanding the messages
- 90 to 100: a playful perfect match.
- 75 to 89: looking very good together.
- 55 to 74: a nice spark.
- 35 to 54: could grow with time.
- 1 to 34: a reminder that opposites attract, and that numbers here mean nothing.
Keep it kind
Avoid using this tool to judge, tease or pressure real people about their relationships. For other light-hearted tools, try the Spin the Wheel to decide what to do on a date, the Random Name Picker for picking a partner in a game, the Dice Roller for board games, or the Secret Santa Generator for gift exchanges. If you need real advice about a relationship, talk to a trusted friend or a qualified counsellor.

Frequently asked questions
Does a love calculator really work?
No. It cannot measure real compatibility, because love depends on people, shared values and effort rather than the letters in their names. This tool is a game that turns two names into a repeatable number for fun. Please do not make any real decisions from it.
Why does it give the same result every time?
The percentage is calculated from the letters of the two names, not chosen at random. That means the same two names always give the same score, so you and your friends can compare results. Typing the names in the other order gives the same answer too.
What is the FLAMES game?
FLAMES stands for Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies and Siblings. You cross out letters that appear in both names, count the letters left, then count around the word FLAMES that many times, crossing out letters until just one remains. That letter gives the result. It is a traditional game played in school notebooks in many countries.
How are common letters cancelled in FLAMES?
Each letter in the first name is matched against the same letter in the second name, and matched pairs are removed once each. If a name has two As and the other has one, only one A is removed. The count of remaining letters from both names is what drives the elimination.
Are my names saved?
No. The calculation happens in your browser, nothing is stored, and nothing is sent to a server. Closing the page removes them.
Can I use nicknames or full names?
Yes. You can use any names, nicknames, pet names or even objects. Only the letters A to Z are used, so spaces, numbers and punctuation are ignored, and accents are removed, so José counts as Jose.
