Your Forsaken Name (v1.0)
GameWyrd has a database of the 13 Forsaken / Chosen from the Wheel of Time series. We use their common name and tell you a little of their history but shouldn't spoil the plot for you. Your Forsaken Name is worked out by comparing your name, or at least the name you give us, against each Forsaken in the database and working out which has the lowest Levenshtein score.
The Levenshtein score is a big name for a simple but effect idea. It measures the distance between two strings (oops, slipping into computer geek talk) by adding 1 for every letter that needs to be changed, added or removed from the first word to reach the second word. The smaller the Levenshtein distance between your name and your monster name the closer the match.
