How is the name number calculated?

Every letter has a digit from 1 to 9. You add the digits of all the letters of the name and reduce the sum to a single number, leaving 11 and 22 as they are. The table below shows which letter carries which digit.

Which name should I use, the full one or the everyday one?

Take the one you actually live by, the one people call you. Numerology reads the name that sounds around you day to day. You can work out the passport version separately and compare the two.

What is the difference between the name number and the life path number?

The life path number comes from your date of birth and stays with you for life. The name number comes from the letters and describes how you sound to others. Change the name and the second one changes with it.
