How Name Scoring Works

Online name scoring tools promise 99/100 — but what are they actually measuring?

Real Evaluation Criteria

Sound: rhythm, tonal flow. Shape: balanced strokes, good handwriting. Meaning: positive associations, classical sources.

Bazi Match Is Most Important

Does the name's element complement the baby's Bazi? A name with average sound/shape/meaning but correct element match is more practical than a "perfect score" name with the wrong element.

Five Grids and Three Talents

Grid numerology and element balance. Reference only — don't sacrifice the actual name for stroke counts.

Our AI naming tool combines all these dimensions.
