"Good question! I believe that you were destined to not know your original name. The reasoning could be that the second name you were given parallels your original name. In Numerology, we use our full birth name as there is a belief that our parents' intuition lets them know the name we are destined to have. So when we are named for the first time our destiny is determined. Nicknames and name changes do carry a vibrational change as they do impact your growth and development, but they are not a replacement for your original name. Your birth name is your foundation and each name change represents a new layer on top of the foundation. Each layer may emphasize different traits about yourself, but the foundation, your true self, is still present. Your true self never changes as it was always there."

"For this assignment, I would use your adopted name. Although your original name would provide the most accurate reading, the calculations from your adopted name can be used to describe you as you are at the present moment."

[edit] (OOC: I didn't realize I had copied the same link three times until mentioned it to me. 😳 I must have messed up the links when I was adding the coding. The links to learn about the meanings of the values of the Expression/Destiny number, Heart/Soul Urge number and Personality number are fixed now. :) Even if the core numbers use the same set of numbers, there may be some differences in their meanings. You can edit your entries if you like. )

(OOC: Would you all mind including how you calculated one of the name numerology numbers in your entry (it doesn't matter which one)? You don't need to include a chalkboard image, but a worked out calculation would be needed in order to be able to receive full points for this assignment.

I updated the OP. Sorry for taking so long to respond to your question.)

Grading Rubric (in case you're curious) You were able to earn an additional bonus point if you included all calculations of the three numbers but didn't earn full points for your essay or incorrectly calculated the numbers.

Gryffindor - 15 points - 15 points - 13 points (Your essay needed a little more detail.)

Slytherin - 15 points - 15 points - 12 points (Your essay needed a little more detail.) - 20 points - 15 points (By the way, Cassie's Personality number should be 4 not 1.) - 15 points - 15 points - 14 points (Hollynd didn't really specify how her Destiny and Soul Urge numbers fit and didn't fit her.) - 15 points

Ravenclaw - 15 points - 20 points - 15 points - 4 points (Points earned only for calculations.) - 15 points - 15 points - 15 points

Hufflepuff - 15 points - 15 points - 13 points (You didn't show how you calculated any of Jona's numbers. Jona's Destiny and Soul Urge numbers were wrong. His Destiny number should have been 8 and his Soul Urge number 11 or 2.) - 13 points (Your essay needed a little more detail. By the way, Millie's Destiny number should have been 6. You forgot a 5 in your initial calculation. )
