Name Correction & Spelling Suggestions

Analyses whether the current name's Destiny number harmonises with the Mulank and Bhagyank under 5 explicit classical rules, then suggests up to 10 pronunciation-safe corrected spellings (vowel softening and/or middle initials) that pass every rule. Useful for name-correction consultations in Vedic astrology apps.

Optionally accepts father_name/mother_name — when given, the response adds a family_sync block: a first-letter frequency analysis of each parent's name against the person's own first letter, Mulank, and Bhagyank, with bilingual descriptions. Corroborative context only; it never changes which spellings pass.

Required: dob, name
Optional: system (chaldean|pythagorean, default chaldean), father_name, mother_name
Returns: Current harmony verdict, up to 10 rule-checked spelling suggestions with ratings and mechanisms, and family_sync (null unless a parent name was given).
