Usage, cultural fit, and verified meaning come first
The directory contains two visibly labeled research tiers plus a priority spelling index for common search gaps. Curated records include meaning, pronunciation, and etymology reviewed name by name. The larger reference tier contributes documented first-name spellings, language or locale usage, gender grouping, script, transliteration, variants, and calculated fields without inventing an unsupported meaning. The priority index adds widely used Indian and global spellings that were absent from some locale providers; those pages remain explicitly unverified for meaning and pronunciation.
Astrology and numerology are optional interpretive layers. A high percentage means that a name fits more of the factors entered into the NameByStars scoring model. It does not predict a child's future.
