What the birth date & the badges mean
The “Naming for” bar (above). Enter the child's birth date — future or past — and, optionally, birth time and the family surname. It's not required: leave it blank to just browse by popularity. When a date is set, every name is scored for how well it aligns with that birth date in traditional naming systems, and you unlock the ✨ Auspicious sort. Time and surname make the reading more precise.
№1 Numerology number (Expression number). Every name reduces to a single number 1–9 by mapping each letter to a value and adding them up. Each number carries a traditional trait — e.g. 1 = Leader, 3 = Creative, 6 = Nurturer, 8 = Executive. A ★ marks a “master number” (11/22/33), considered especially intense. Open any name to see its full meaning.
Harmonious / Neutral / Perfect Alignment with the birth date. This compares the name's number to the birth date's Life Path number: Perfect = an exact match, Harmonious = the same energetic family (e.g. 3-6-9 creative, 1-5-7 independent, 2-4-8 material), Neutral = workable but takes a little more effort. It only appears once a birth date is set.
Water Five-Element reading. The colored pill is the name's element (Wood/Fire/Earth/Metal/Water), read from its first sound.
Restrains the year Element relationship (last badge). When a birth date is set, this shows how the name's element relates to the birth-year element in the traditional element cycle: Nourished by the year = the year's element feeds the name's (support flows to the child) · Nourishes the year = the name's element feeds the year's · Same element = identical, reinforcing · Restrains the year = the name's element restrains the year's (adds control/structure) · Restrained by the year = the year's element restrains the name's (more friction) · Neutral = no direct tie.
