Using the Love Calculator
The tool trims spaces at the edges, ignores capitalization and sorts the names before calculating the score. The same pair therefore gives the same result when their order is reversed. Different spelling can change the number because it changes the text input.
Worked example
Use the example inputs below to reproduce this result. These are the form's starting values, not recommended targets. Changing your inputs updates your result above; this worked example stays fixed for comparison. Results are rounded for display.
Example inputs
- First name
- Alex
- Second name
- Sam
Example result
- Just-for-fun score (%)
- 71
Method and assumptions
A deterministic name hash produces a fictional score. Names cannot measure relationship compatibility.
Keep the game in perspective
A reproducible score can feel meaningful because it is consistent, but consistency alone does not make it a valid assessment. Here, the number is generated from text according to a fixed rule. Use it as a conversation game, with no expectation that a higher or lower score says anything reliable about a relationship.
Common question
Why does changing a nickname change the score?
The calculation operates on text, so a different spelling creates a different input. That change says nothing about the people involved. It is a feature of the name-based game, not evidence of a change in compatibility.
