Frequently asked questions

What does the name checker look at?

It shows which Nakshatra Pada the name's first sound belongs to, whether the name is on AAGO's cross-checked lists, and a short AI-written note on meaning, origin, other spellings, nickname ideas, and how the name sounds with your surname and your other children's names.

How reliable is the meaning?

Where the name is on our lists, the meaning comes from names we cross-checked against more than one public source. For other names the note is written by AI, which can be wrong, so we show a confidence level and say when we are unsure. Please confirm with elders or a priest.

Is my name or surname saved?

We do not store them. They are sent through our server to our AI service so it can write the notes, and the AI provider has its own privacy terms. Leave out anything you would rather not share. The surname and sibling names are optional.

What if the name does not match a Nakshatra letter?

Then it would not match a Pada by its first letters. Many families still choose such names, and some keep a separate name for the Nakshatra. That is a family decision.
