Quite simple: you don't deal at all. That's zero assumptions about the name. Let them eat cake and enter whatever they want. The user should know their sweetie

Quite simple: you don't deal at all. That's zero assumptions about the name. Let them eat cake and enter whatever they want. The user should know their sweetie well enough to guess what they will enter as own name. This is an assumption about their level of mutual knowledge, true, but not one about the naming scheme.
- lvass 4y agoThis is a design decision that will very likely lead to missed matches, bold of you to assume it's desirable but even that doesn't answer the entire ordeal. How are they going to enter the name, have you read 11?
- not2b 4y agoOn the contrary, there is a very strong and completely invalid assumption: that Alice will type her name in exactly the way Bob typed her name, and vice versa, that neither will misspell it, that either both will use the official name or both will use the same nickname.
