Name compatibility
Enter two names and discover the numerological harmony between them: the affinity percentage between their vibrations and how they complement each other.
By Roberto Rodriguez · Updated
How does it work?
Pythagorean numerology gives each letter a value from 1 to 9 (A=1, B=2… I=9, J=1…). Adding up the letters in each name gives its vibration. The tool compares the vibrations of the two names: the closer or more complementary they are, the higher the affinity.
Name or nickname?
Use the name you really call each other in the relationship. If you want to learn about the personality your full name expresses, use personality by your name.
How the Calculation Works
In numerology, each letter equals a number from 1 to 9 (A=1, B=2, … I=9, J=1, and so on). The letters of each name are added up and reduced to a single digit, and then the relationship between the two numbers is compared. The affinity percentage reflects how well those vibrations complement each other; the text explains what they build on and what deserves attention.
Use the name you introduce yourself with
For a representative reading, use the full name as it appears on official documents, or the name the person goes by and is known as. Nicknames can give a different reading that also makes sense: they show the "social image" versus the "birth identity." Try both versions and compare.
A Game for Getting to Know Each Other Better
Use it with your partner, friends, or family as a pastime and an excuse to talk. A low percentage doesn't mean the relationship won't work, and a high one doesn't guarantee it will go well: what builds a solid relationship is respect, communication, and commitment, not a sum of letters. If you want to see how your own name sounds, try personality by your name, and for the astrological angle, the love compatibility of the signs. More theory in name numerology.
