Enter names to rate parent coolness

This is not serious parenting advice – it’s a meme-ready, name-based vibe test. Use it for laughs, not therapy. 😄

You (kid, teen, or adult child)
Mom, dad, step-parent, guardian, etc.

Enter your name and your parent’s name, then tap “Calculate Parent Coolness” to see the score.
This is a light-hearted, name-based fun tool. Real relationships are built on communication, care, and everyday moments – not calculators.
Scale: 0 = low coolness · 50 = mixed vibes · 100 = legendary cool parent mode.

How the Parent Coolness formula works (in human words)

Under the hood, this calculator uses a simple name-based numerology-style formula plus a tiny boost (or penalty) from the parent’s vibe. It’s engineered for screenshots and laughter – not for judging anyone’s worth as a parent.

Step 1 – Turn names into numbers.

  • Each letter A–Z is mapped to 1–26 (A=1, B=2, … Z=26).
  • We add up all letter values in your name and your parent’s name separately.
  • If the sum is huge, we keep reducing it by adding its digits until we get a number under 100. This gives each name a compact “vibe number.”

Step 2 – Combine child + parent energy.

  • Your vibe and your parent’s vibe get mixed with a fun formula: (childValue × 11 + parentValue × 7) mod 101.
  • We also sneak in a tiny twist based on how long your names are (because long names deserve extra drama).

Step 3 – Adjust for parent style.

  • Chill parents get a generous coolness bump.
  • Funny / meme-sharing parents get a nice boost too.
  • Supportive parents (the “I’m proud of you” type) also score higher.
  • Strict parents lose a little coolness – but gain “they kept you alive through your chaos” points in real life.
  • Chaotic parents get a small bonus for being unpredictable entertainment.

Step 4 – Clamp from 0 to 100.

We cap the final result between 0 and 100 for a clean Parent Coolness Score that’s easy to read, share, and debate at the dinner table.

Quick examples:

  • Case 1: You + a chill, meme-sharing parent may land in the 80–100 range – “legendary cool.”
  • Case 2: You + a super strict parent might show a 40–60 score – more “classic parent” than “instant bestie.”
  • Case 3: A supportive-but-chaotic parent can end up with a surprisingly high score thanks to the vibe adjustment.

None of this is scientific – it’s a playful mashup of math, vibes, and memes. Real coolness lives in the tiny everyday moments: listening, showing up, apologizing, laughing together, and making you feel safe.

How to read your Parent Coolness Score

This score is meant to feel like a fun family meme, not a performance review. Use it to spark inside jokes, share playful screenshots, or bond over how different generations define “cool.”

Score ranges & what they suggest (playfully)

  • 85–100 – Legendary Cool Parent
    This is “my friends wish they had them” territory. They probably send you reels, listen (most of the time), and have at least one chaotic story from their own youth.
  • 70–84 – Pretty Cool Parent
    They still parent you, but they also kind of get it. They might not understand every meme, but they try, and that effort boosts their coolness massively.
  • 50–69 – Relatable-but-Regular Parent
    Classic “good parent” vibes – decent boundaries, sometimes funny, sometimes cringe, always trying in their own way. Most parents probably live in this zone.
  • 0–49 – Classic Parent Mode
    Less cool on the surface, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care. They might be strict, tired, busy, or not into trends – but real love can still be very present behind the scenes.

FAQ: Common questions about this calculator

Is this judging anyone’s real parenting?

No. This is a pure entertainment tool. It uses only names and a vibe label – it has zero context about your family history, culture, values, or sacrifices. It’s a quick, shareable way to laugh with your parents, not at them.

Why use names at all?

Names are one of the easiest things to plug into a calculator. By turning them into numbers, we can create a fun, deterministic formula that gives the same score each time – perfect for screenshots and debates like “See, the calculator says Mom is cooler than Dad.”

Can siblings get different results for the same parent?

Yes – because your name is part of the formula too. The score reflects the child–parent combo, not the parent alone. It’s more about the dynamic than a universal “rating.”

What if the score feels “wrong”?

Then it’s doing its job as a conversation starter. 😄 Use the result to laugh, tell stories, or ask your parent: “What would make your coolness score go up in real life?” (More snacks? More memes? Fewer lectures?)

Is any data shared or stored online?

All calculations happen inside your browser. When you save a result, it’s kept in your own device’s local storage only. You can clear it anytime by clearing your browser data.

Best way to go viral with this?

  • Screenshot the score + explanation and post it with a caption like “Tag your coolest parent” or “Guess which parent this is.”
  • Run both parents through the calculator and share the “winner” (with love).
  • Ask your parent to take the test with their own parents and compare generations.
