How matching works

Meaning and cultural fit come first

A recommendation starts with genuine name records: established spellings, language, origin, documented meaning, gender usage, and cultural context. Personal preferences can then add weight for sound, length, style, or a starting letter.

Astrology and numerology are optional interpretive layers. A high percentage means that a name fits more of the factors entered into the NameByStars scoring model. It does not predict a child's future.
