Don't know the birth details? The tradition reads each person's nakshatra from the first syllable of their name, the naam akshar. Enter two names to see the 36-point Guna Milan.
Free · no signup · the names are used only for this match.
Each nakshatra has four padas, and each pada a syllable. A name is read by its first syllable: Rahul begins with रा (Ra), the third pada of Chitra, so the Moon is taken to be there, in Libra.
From the two Moons the eight kootas are scored exactly as in a birth-chart match — Varna, Vasya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi, out of 36. Where English letters can be read two ways, t as त or ट, d as द or ड, the tool asks which.
The first syllables of the 108 padas, as Hindi panchangs print them. A name given by the birth nakshatra — the naam rashi name — matches best.

A name places the Moon in a pada, not at a degree, and says nothing of Mars or the Lagna. So Manglik can't be read, and a popular name may not be the one given at birth. With birth details, the full kundli match reads everything from the real chart.
Yes. When birth details aren't known, the tradition reads each person's nakshatra from the first syllable of their name, and the Guna Milan is scored from the two. It is a first reading: birth charts give the surer one.
The name given by the birth nakshatra — the naam rashi name — if there is one; otherwise the name the person is called by.
English letters don't separate some sounds: 'Ta' can be ता or टा, 'Da' दा or डा, 'Na' ना or ण. Each begins a different pada, so the tool shows the readings and you pick. A name typed in Hindi settles it.
No. Manglik depends on Mars, which a name doesn't give. The full kundli match with birth details checks it from both charts.
