What the birth date & the badges mean
The βNaming forβ bar (above). Enter the child's birth date β future or past β 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 β¨ Auspicious sort. Time and surname make the reading more precise.
β1 Numerology number (Expression number). Every name reduces to a single number 1β9 by mapping each letter to a value and adding them up. Each number carries a traditional trait β e.g. 1 = Leader, 3 = Creative, 6 = Nurturer, 8 = Executive. A β marks a βmaster numberβ (11/22/33), considered especially intense.

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.
