Name method (Namakshar): the first sound of each name points to a nakshatra pada. English spellings are approximate — for an exact match use birth details (Kundli Matching). Just for fun — not a scientific or professional assessment.
| Koota | Rahul | Priya | Points | Represents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | Shudra | Vaishya | 0 / 1 | Spiritual and work temperament |
| Vashya | Manava | Manava | 2 / 2 | Mutual attraction and influence |
| Tara | Chitra | Uttara Phalguni | 1.5 / 3 | Health and well-being together |
| Yoni | Tiger | Cow | 0 / 4 | Physical and intimate compatibility |
| Graha Maitri | Venus | Mercury | 5 / 5 | Mental wavelength and friendship |
| Gana | Rakshasa | Manushya | 0 / 6 | Nature and temperament |
| Bhakoot | Tula (Libra) | Kanya (Virgo) | 0 / 7 | Family welfare, finances and love |
| Nadi | Madhya | Aadi | 8 / 8 | Health, genes and children |
Don't have birth times? Guna Milan can also be done by name: in the Namakshar tradition, the first sound of a name (Chu, Che, La, Ra, Pa…) belongs to one pada of a nakshatra. If you already know both nakshatras from a kundli, choose them instead.
The calculator scores all eight kootas of the Ashtakoota system and gives the total out of 36 with the traditional verdict.

Try this example →Yes — the name method (Namakshar) uses the first syllable of each name. It's popular when birth times are unknown, but birth details are more accurate.
Traditionally the name given at the naming ceremony; many people use the name they're known by.
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters (padas); your pada decides your rashi when a nakshatra spans two signs.
No — it's for fun and entertainment. Love is built by two people through kindness, trust and effort, not by names, numbers or stars. Enjoy it, share it, and don't make big decisions on it.
