Name correction: how the API works it out
POST /v1/name/suggest tries small spelling changes on one word of the name. The part field picks the word, and 0, the first name, is the default. It only tries changes that keep the name sounding the same.
These are a and aa, i and ee, u and oo, ph and f, and v and w. A v or w is never changed as the first letter. The API can also double the last consonant, or add a silent h after a final a.
At most two changes are combined. Some changes are left out on purpose, because each one makes a different name. The API never doubles an e or an o.
It never shortens ee to e or oo to o, and it never adds a final a. A spelling is suggested only when its Chaldean number is in targets. By default, targets holds every number whose fit with the person is good.
Results come in a fixed order, fewer changes first, then A to Z. They are never ranked, and ranked is false. Each one lists its changes.
The found field counts every match before limit, and none holds a sentence when nothing matches. That is the case for John Doe, whose spelling can stay as it is. To compare spellings you already have, send up to 10 in variants to POST /v1/name.
The suggest answer also carries not_claimed_spelling: a new spelling changes the number of the name, not the person.
The Chaldean letter values, with no letter worth 9, follow the table in Cheiro's Book of Numbers (1926).
