FAQ

How are the names picked?
We hash your input into a seed, then pick a name from one of three pools (Argentine, Japanese cafe, internet-famous). Same input = same name, every time. Retake just reseeds with a fresh random number.
Where do the names come from?
Argentine names are real carpincho-adjacent words (Pampa, Río, Ñandú, Lapacho). Japanese cafe names come from the Izu Shaboten / Nagasaki Bio Park tradition (Yuzu, Mochi, Hotaru). Internet-famous names are real capybara accounts you've probably seen on TikTok (Mudslide, JoeJoe, Cheesecake).
Why is the result weirdly specific?
Because generic horoscopes are boring. The personality blurbs lean into capybara behavior — sitting on problems, friend of the duck, mostly indifferent. If yours feels too on the nose, hit retake.
