Name Calculator for Love
The classic school-day FLAMES game, with a kinder reading. Type two names and see whether you are Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, or Siblings.
It is just a game. But if it stings, that is information. The strongest reactions point to the unfinished places.
FLAMES says E. The cycle landed on Enemies. The school-yard game has an edge to it, and this outcome is often the funniest in retrospect.
Spiky. Sometimes that is genuine incompatibility. Sometimes it is unresolved attraction, which is why so many enemies-to-lovers tropes start here. Read your own reaction carefully.
If the result made you laugh, ignore it. If it stung, ask why. Strong reactions to a random letter game are usually about something real that is not yet named.
FLAMES is the school-yard game where you cross out shared letters in two names and count what is left. The remaining count cycles through Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings. The last word standing is your match.

About this tool
FLAMES has been written on notebooks at the back of every Indian classroom for decades. Aces, friends, crushes, and Bollywood couples have all been put through it. It survives because it is quick, fair, and gives a complete-feeling answer in seconds.
We wrote a small blurb for each result so you do not just get a label but a thought to sit with. Read it lightly. Real connection is built in conversation, not in a row of letters.
Frequently asked
How does FLAMES work?
Write both names. Cross out one occurrence of every letter that appears in both. Count the letters that remain. Now cycle through F, L, A, M, E, S, removing one letter each step. The last one left is your result.
Why does the order of names not matter?
The count of leftover letters depends only on which letters appear in each name and how often, not the order. So Aanya and Rohan gives the same result as Rohan and Aanya.
Is this real or just for fun?
It is just for fun. FLAMES is a school-yard game, not a relationship indicator. The letters of two names cannot tell you anything about how a relationship will play out.
Why is mine showing Enemies?
It happens. The remaining-letter count happened to land on E. That is all. Read the blurb gently and move on.
Should I use my full name?
Both work. First-name FLAMES is the original school-yard version. Full-name FLAMES gives a more stable result. Pick whichever feels more like you.
Are my names saved or sent anywhere?
No. The result is calculated locally and nothing leaves your browser.
