■ A Name Is the Sound You Hear Most Often in Your Life

When a person is born into the world, the first thing they receive is a name. A name is the first gift parents give to a child, and it is the sound they hear most often and cherish the longest throughout their lives. Jakmyungbogam considers these precious names together based on the principles of traditional name analysis.

■ Unique Differentiators of Jakmyungbogam

I. The Sound Five Elements Dual Engine: Examining Two Criteria Simultaneously

It analyzes the widely used commercial method (ㅇㅎ=Earth · ㅁㅂㅍ=Water) alongside the original method found in the Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon (ㅇㅎ=Water · ㅁㅂㅍ=Earth). It honestly identifies even names whose evaluations vary depending on the school of thought.

II. Recommended Chinese Characters, Verified Character by Character

Although there are over 8,000 legally permitted Chinese characters for personal names, they include characters with heavy meanings as well as those rarely used for human names. Jakmyungbogam does not include all of these in its automatic recommendations. We verify the meaning, usage, and nuance of each character one by one, selecting only those Chinese characters that have been thoroughly vetted as suitable for a name as candidates. If you have specific characters in mind, you can manually select from a wider range through the direct input function.

III. Personalized Naming with a Purpose, Renaming That Considers Physiognomy

If you select aspirational values ​​such as wealth, honor, and good fortune in relationships, along with the reason for the change, we recommend a name that incorporates the Five Elements of the desired energy, along with the Five Elements that complement the energies lacking in your Saju (Four Pillars of Destiny). For renaming, we even incorporate subtle energies from facial photographs (analyzed only within the device) or physiognomy readings obtained through a medical questionnaire into the new name.

※ Physiognomy is intended for adults whose bone structure is established, so it is not applied to naming babies.

IV. Global Tone Verification · Title Simulation

We verify whether the Romanized spelling of your name is likely to be misunderstood overseas, and you can listen to real-life titles in audio format appropriate for your age group.

V. Automatic Generation of Applications for Name Change

If you have decided to change your name, we will generate a draft (PDF) of the application for name change for submission to the court in a single step, combining the basis of your onomastic analysis with the reasons for the change.

VI. Personal Information Stored Only on Your Device

Your name, date and time of birth, and photos are not transmitted to or collected from a server. Even facial photos are analyzed only within the device, and the system operates on a serverless structure where data is stored only on the device where the app is installed. There is no membership registration required.

■ Key Features

· Name Generation — We recommend suitable names based on your surname and criteria (gender, birth date/time, and family considerations), and refine the name you have in mind through recommendations and verification of Hanja combinations. We also incorporate the avoidance of syllables (Gihwi) and generational names from your parents' names. If desired, you can enter your parents' dates and times of birth to examine the Five Elements of both parents and child side by side (this is optional and does not affect recommendation scores or rankings).

· Name Analysis — We provide a comprehensive diagnosis of your current name based on the Five Elements of Sound, Sound Yin-Yang, and Complementary Five Elements. For names written in Hanja, we also incorporate an 81-sex numerical calculation. Purely Hangul names are also analyzed as they are.

· Detailed Saju Analysis — We show you the four pillars of your Saju, the distribution of the Five Elements (reflecting the Hidden Stems), prominent and deficient energies, and how your name fills those energies.

· Renaming — We diagnose your current name to recommend a better one and compare your current name with your new name side-by-side using the same criteria.

· Issuance of Results — We issue naming certificates, renaming certificates, name analysis result reports, and name comparison reports as PDF documents in the style of ancient books. We also support two-character surnames (such as Namgung and Hwangbo) and single-character names.

· Name Statistics — We verify results using actual birth registration data from the Supreme Court. We examine annual ranking trends using data from 2020 to 2026, and overall rankings and usage trends by gender using cumulative data from 2008 to 2019. (The figures for the most recent year are subject to change as data collection is still in progress.)

· Name Archive — Save names you have in mind and retrieve them at any time with the same analysis.
