Loves percentage

Perhaps this is an age thing... during AGM this year I remembered a number game from school. The idea was to take the names of two of your friends (or enemies) and write them down with the word LOVES. For example:

YOGI BEAR
LOVES
RANGER SMITH

Next you count up all the L's, O's, V's, etc. in both names:

YOGI BEAR
LOVES
RANGER SMITH
L=0 O=1 V=0 E=2 S=1

Giving the "total" 01021. Now for the science bit... concentrate! Add together the pairs of digits to give a new number. Repeat until you get a two figure number. This is the "how much love" percentage:

0 1 0 2 1
 \ /\/ \/\ / 
 1 1 2 3 
 \ /\/\ / 
 2 3 5  
 \ /\/ 
 5 8 %

Ooo, 58% who'd have thought it would be that high.

How childish! So you won't want to enter any names in this automated version below, will you? Oh no, we're all far too sensible for that, aren't we!

 
LOVES
 

There was also a version where you counted through the letters of the word FLAMES. Where you "landed" gave you extra information about your destiny...
