Name variants calculator
The working name is respelled by the six allowed edits, at most two at a time, and every variant is scored. Tick the qualities you want and the variants that land on those digits move to the top.
Most name corrections are one letter. A doubled vowel or a trailing H moves a 35 to a 41 without changing how the name sounds.

Variants use doubled letters, an added H, S or Y, an added vowel or a dropped double, at most two edits and never three identical letters in a row. No new words are invented. Highlighted rows land on a target digit; stability targets 8 and 4 apply only where the sector lifts them.
How this calculator works
- R-EDITS Double a vowel, double a consonant, add H, S or Y at the end or after the first vowel, add a leading or trailing vowel, drop a doubled letter. At most two edits; never three identical letters in a row; at most 60 variants.
- R-SCORE Every variant is scored with the Name Score formula; only variants scoring above the current spelling are shown.
- R-ORDER Fewest edits at equal score; doubling and H, S, Y edits before trailing vowels, and those before leading vowels; target digits first when qualities are ticked.
- R-GATE Stability targets 8 and 4 apply only where the sector lifts them.
Not what this tells you. A variant is a spelling that scores higher. Whether it reads well, is available as a domain and survives a trademark search is yours to check.
The reason
Practitioners correct names by adding, dropping or doubling letters rather than by inventing words; Cheiro's compounds decide which total is worth reaching. The qualities map to digits the tradition attaches to them: growth 5 and 3, stability 8 and 4 (sector-gated), wealth 6 and 8, authority 1, trust 2 and 6, speed 5 and 1.

The Business Name Report scores three respellings, reads the founder in both directions, flags karmic numbers and dates a 30-day plan. The Blueprint adds the Lo Shu grid, the twelve-month calendar, partners, phone, domain and premises.
Questions founders ask
Will the tool invent a new name?
No. It only respells the name you give within two edits.
How long before a respelling takes effect?
Practitioners hold a new spelling for 180 days on signage, invoices and handles before judging it.
Why is stability not moving my variants?
Because 8 and 4 are cautioned as name digits outside the sectors that favour them; the gate keeps the tool honest.
