How to Calculate FLAMES Manually

Step-by-Step Method:

Step 1: Write Both Names

Write both names clearly without titles.

Example:
Name 1: AMIT SHARMA
Name 2: PRIYA GUPTA

Step 2: Remove Common Letters

Cross out all letters that appear in both names (match each letter only once).

AMIT SHARMA ? AMIT SHARMA ? MIT SHRM (removed A, A, A)
PRIYA GUPTA ? PRIYA GUPTA ? PY GUP (removed R, I, A, T, A)

Step 3: Count Remaining Letters

Count total remaining letters from both names.

MIT SHRM = 7 letters
PY GUP = 5 letters
Total = 12

Step 4: Start Elimination

Write FLAMES and start counting from F. Cross out the letter you land on after counting the total number.

Count 12 positions: F-L-A-M-E-S-F-L-A-M-E-S
Cross out S: F L A M E (5 letters remain)

Step 5: Continue from Next Letter

Continue counting from the letter after crossed one. Repeat until one letter remains.

Start from F, count 12: F-L-A-M-E-F-L-A-M-E-F-L
Cross out L: F A M E (4 letters remain)

Start from A, count 12 (wrapping): A-M-E-F-A-M-E-F-A-M-E-F
Cross out F: A M E (3 letters remain)

Start from A, count 12: A-M-E-A-M-E-A-M-E-A-M-E
Cross out E: A M (2 letters remain)

Start from A, count 12: A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M
Cross out M: A remains!

Step 6: Final Result

Result: A - Affectionate

This couple has an affectionate and caring relationship! ??

?? Pro Tip

FLAMES calculation can vary based on whether you use full names, first names only, or if you include/exclude spaces. The traditional method uses first names only without spaces!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is FLAMES accurate for predicting relationships?

FLAMES is a fun game, not a scientific prediction tool. It's based purely on name letters without considering personality, astrology, or real compatibility factors. Enjoy it for entertainment, but don't make relationship decisions based on it!

Q: Should I believe FLAMES result if it shows "Enemies"?

No! FLAMES is just a game. Many happily married couples get "E" in FLAMES but have excellent astrological compatibility. Real relationships depend on understanding, respect, compatibility, and effort - not name calculations.

Q: What's the best way to check love compatibility?

Get Kundli matching (Gun Milan) done by experienced astrologer. This analyzes 36 points of compatibility including mental, physical, emotional, and progeny factors. It's the most reliable method used in Vedic astrology for centuries.

Q: Can FLAMES result change with nicknames?

Yes! Since FLAMES is based on name letters, using nicknames, short names, or full names will give different results. This proves it's not scientifically reliable. Stick to astrological methods for serious compatibility analysis.

Q: My FLAMES shows "Marriage" - should I propose?

While it's a fun positive sign, don't make major life decisions based on FLAMES alone! Consider personality compatibility, family approval, financial stability, astrological Gun Milan, and have honest conversations about future together. Marriage requires much more than a game result!
