Name Compatibility

TL;DR

Name compatibility is an old-school game that adds the stroke counts of two people's name letters alternately to get a score. Enter two names (in Korean Hangul) to get a compatibility score based on Hangul letter strokes — free.

The same two names always give the same score (a fixed calculation), and it has nothing to do with a real relationship — content for fun.

⚠️ Name compatibility is for entertainment only, built from letter stroke counts. It has nothing to do with a real relationship.

Enter the two names

Tip: this game uses Korean Hangul stroke counts, so enter names in Hangul. For an English name, type its Korean spelling.

Enter in Korean (Hangul).
Enter in Korean (Hangul).

How is name compatibility calculated?

Name compatibility is the classic game people scribbled in their notebooks at school. You write the two names one letter at a time alternately, jot down each letter's stroke count, then add neighboring numbers and keep only the ones digit, repeating until two digits remain. Those final two digits are the compatibility score.

FortuneMoa adds the stroke counts of the Korean Hangul letters (initial, medial, final) instead of Chinese-character strokes, computed the same way. The score is just for fun — check other matches at Zodiac Compatibility and MBTI Compatibility too.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How is name compatibility calculated?

The classic name match lays out the stroke counts of two names alternately, then repeatedly takes the ones digit of each pair of adjacent sums until a final two-digit score remains. FortuneMoa adds the stroke counts of the Korean Hangul letters (initial, medial, final) and computes the score the same way.

Can I use English names?

FortuneMoa's name compatibility is based on Korean Hangul stroke counts, so names must be entered in Hangul. Non-Hangul letters count as zero strokes, so for an English name enter its Korean spelling instead.

Will the same names always give the same score?

Yes. The name compatibility score is a fixed calculation based on the entered letters, so the same two names always give the same score. It is not random.

If the name compatibility score is low, will we break up?

Not at all. Name compatibility is content for fun built from letter stroke counts and has nothing to do with a real relationship. Don't take the score to heart — just enjoy it.
