Calculating a “love percentage” using names is often done for fun, based on a simple letter-counting method. Here’s a classic method often referred to as the LOVE compatibility test:
Steps to Calculate Love Percentage
- Write the names:
- Write the two names of the people you want to calculate compatibility for.
- For example, if the names are Alex and Bella, write them together like this: ALEXBELLA.
- Assign values to the letters:
- Assign a number to each letter based on its frequency in the word “LOVE”.
- L = 1
- O = 2
- V = 3
- E = 4
- Count how many times the letters L, O, V, and E appear in both names combined.
- Calculate the sum:
- Add the number of occurrences of each letter. Let’s say you found:
- L = 2 (appears twice)
- O = 1 (appears once)
- V = 0 (doesn’t appear)
- E = 3 (appears three times)
- Find the percentage:
- Combine the numbers to form a two-digit number. For example:
- 2 (for L) + 1 (for O) + 0 (for V) + 3 (for E) = 2103
- Add the first two digits and the last two digits to form a percentage. For example:
- 2 + 1 = 3, and 0 + 3 = 3
- Therefore, the love percentage = 33%.
This method is purely symbolic and meant for entertainment, not a serious measure of compatibility.
