What is this calculator?
Your name is the word you see most often and rarely ever count. This calculator breaks it into first, middle and last, counts the letters in each part, adds up the total, includes the spaces between them and tells you which section of your name is the longest.
How does it work?
Each name you type is stripped of spaces and punctuation, then measured letter by letter. The totals are added together for the full letter count, and the character count adds the spaces you would type between the parts. The longest section is simply the highest of the three counts.
Frequently asked questions
Do spaces count as letters?+
No. Letters are counted on their own, and the character total is shown separately so you can see the difference the spaces make.
What about hyphens and apostrophes?+
Punctuation is ignored in the letter count, so O'Brien counts as six letters and Anne-Marie as ten.
Does it work with accents and non-Latin scripts?+
Yes. Accented characters and letters from other alphabets are all counted as letters.
Is a middle name required?+
Not at all. Leave the middle name blank and it simply counts as zero letters in the totals.
What is the longest name section?+
It is whichever of your three name parts has the most letters. Ties go to the earliest part in the list.
