Name compatibility

Birth dates describe the life you were given. Names describe the one you answer to. This compares two Expression numbers — every letter of each full name, reduced.

Name one
Type a full birth name to see the letters add up.
Name two
Type a full birth name to see the letters add up.
Enter both full birth names, then compare.
Two Expression numbers, read together
Enter both full birth names above, then compare.
The letter values

The Pythagorean table maps every letter to a single digit. Sum the letters of a full birth name, reduce, and you have the Expression number.

01
Use the full birth name

The name on the birth certificate, including middle names. Nicknames and married names produce a different number, which numerology treats as a second, learned identity.

02
Expression is the outward number

Where the Life Path describes the road, the Expression describes the vehicle: how you present, negotiate and are remembered.

03
Read it against the birth date

Name pairings and birth date pairings often disagree. That gap is usually the most interesting part of a chart, not an error.
