FLAMES is a playful game that determines the compatibility of two people based on their names. Here are instructions to calculate them manually.
Step 1: Write the Names
Document the names you wish to test.
Step 2: Remove Common Letters
Cross off all letters that are repetitions in one or both names.
Step 3: Count Remaining Letters
Set aside and count the number of letters remaining.
Step 4: Use the FLAMES Acronym
FLAMES means the following:
F – Friendship
L – Love
A – Affection
M – Marriage
E – Enemy
S – Sibling
Step 5: Elimination Process
Starting with F, count through the letters of FLAMES using the figure you acquired in Step 3. Once you reach the count, skip that letter and start counting from the letter after it. So if you need to skip F, you skip it and start with a new count from L. Do this until there is just one letter left.
Step 6: Interpret the Result
The letter that remains will indicate what type of relationship the test subjects have.
As an example:
Names: “Alex” and “Alexa”
Common letters: A, L, E, X
After eliminating: Regardless of how many “A” has in Alexandria, it only matters that “Alexa” has 1 a so 1 letter left.
Count through FLAMES: first is F meaning the result is “Friendship”.
