Name Compatibility

💘 How to Play Name Compatibility

This is a classic Korean game (궁합) for testing love compatibility by counting and combining the strokes of each character in two names.

  1. Enter your name and the other person's name.
  2. Click the Check Compatibility button.
  3. The classic algorithm interleaves the stroke counts of both names and adds them up.
  4. The final two-digit number is your compatibility score!

* There's no scientific basis — enjoy it just for fun! 😉

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does name compatibility work?

Korean folk algorithm: sum the consonant stroke counts of both names, repeatedly reduce until two digits remain, then read out a 0-100 score.

Q. Does a high score mean we're a real match?

It's folklore for fun, not a science. Use it as a conversation starter or icebreaker, not a relationship prediction.

Q. Will the same names give the same score?

Yes — the algorithm is deterministic, so identical inputs always return the same number.

Q. Does it work with English names?

It's designed for Korean Hangul stroke counts. For English names, transliterate to Hangul first (e.g. John → 존) for comparable results.

Q. Can I test my name vs a celebrity?

Absolutely — celebrity, character, friend, anyone. Share the result on social for fun.

Q. How do I share results?

Screenshot or copy the text — KakaoTalk, Instagram, anywhere. The same names always reproduce the same score.
