CalcJournal

Love calculator

Play FLAMES with two names. Matching letters cancel, and the letters left pick Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, or Siblings. For fun only. The names stay in your browser.

How the count works

Enter two names of any length. The tool keeps letters from A to Z only: it lowercases both, then drops spaces and anything else. It walks the first name from left to right. Each letter cancels the first unused copy of that same letter in the second name. The letters still standing, from both names, are the count.

That count moves around six letters set in a circle: F, L, A, M, E, S. It starts at F. The letter it lands on drops out, and the next count begins on the next letter. One letter remains, and that letter is the result. If the count is zero, because the names cancelled each other completely, the page shows Perfect Match and skips the circle.

Read the result for fun. It is a curiosity, in the same spirit as a horoscope on this site, and it does not predict a real relationship. For a birth date sketch built from Sun sign elements, use the compatibility calculator.

Questions

What is FLAMES?

FLAMES is a name game. The letters stand for Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, and Siblings. This page plays that game with two names and shows which letters cancel. It is for curiosity and for sharing. It does not describe a real relationship, and it is not advice.

Is a love calculator accurate?

No. The result is a party game, not a measure of two people. The same names always give the same letter, which makes it easy to share, and that is the point. Read it the way the horoscopes on this site are meant to be read: a pattern, not a promise. Birth dates belong on the compatibility calculator.

How is the result calculated?

Both names are lowercased. Spaces, numbers, and other non-letters are removed. Matching letters cancel one for one, following the first name. The number of letters left is counted around F, L, A, M, E, and S until one letter remains. If no letters remain, the page shows Perfect Match and does not run the count.

How is this different from the compatibility calculator?

This page uses two names and the FLAMES game. The compatibility calculator uses two birth dates and Sun sign elements. They answer different searches, and both stay on the site. Neither result is a forecast, and neither one is advice about a real relationship. Use the tool that matches what you wanted to compare.

Does this send the names anywhere?

No. The names are read by the script in your browser. Nothing is posted to CalcJournal. There is no account. The share button copies one sentence to your clipboard only if you press it, and only after the copy succeeds. Leaving the page does not save the names.
