Romantic Compatibility Based on Names

Are you the kind who believes in planetary positions when it comes to relationships? Or do you often follow your heart? Horoscopes, palm reading, astrology, the use of birthstones etc. are some of the basic methods through which people hope to get a glimpse of the future. Romantic compatibility is often gauged with the help of these horoscopes and astrological predictions. Solemn astrologers grumble and mumble about the ‘dangers that are hovering around this year’ and how the next few years would be really difficult. (Well, Mr. Astrologer, if life could be such a cakewalk, every one of us would have been happy every single day!)

Girls pouring over books based on astrological signs that discussed compatibility issues are always a common sight in classrooms. I often remember my group trying out various romantic compatibility combination based on names. Every letter had a specific meaning and girls took these meaning almost literally to know about their future ‘husband’! When I think about those days, I only chuckle to myself about these antics.

In the recent times, numerology is also gaining attention to deduce compatibility between couples about to tie the knot. Can mathematics and numbers be used to gauge matters of the heart? (And I thought love was all about chemistry!) There are many who will stick to these methods to understand love compatibility between couples. Every alphabet of the name denotes a particular number, which in turn can be calculated to discover the compatibility of the couple. If this were to form the basis of a relationship, would our name affect our personality and subsequently, our love life?

Well, if you take a look online, you are bound to come across many websites with ‘love calculators’ and many such different ways to know the romantic compatibility based on names. All you need to do is fill in your name and your beloved’s as well. With few clicks, you can have the love calculation at the tip of your fingers! It’s truly amazing how technology can be used to dictate whom we should love and whom we should avoid. But then, is this all really worth it?

Would you dump your girlfriend if you realized you basically did not have a high score for such compatibility tests? Or would you ask her to change her name? A name is an individual identity and changing a name would not completely solve your issues. Besides, marriage is a whole different ball game and this is something you as a couple, need to work upon!

Love and romance is the main essence of life and although there are staunch believers of astrology and numerology, it would be advisable to avoid a complete dependency on these methods. We should be concerned about our present and make things work for us rather than continually worrying about the future. It is completely up to the individuals whether they would like to resort to numerology or astrology to know details related with relationship issues. However, if you work towards a basic strong foundation, the future would obviously look bright! Life is more about enjoying the journey rather than fretting about the destination…
