As an analogy, consider the name at birth to be the foundation of a house. Name changes may be likened to painting the house a different color. Every new name paints the house a different color. The foundation will always be there. The colors of all the previous names are still present under the current color. Old names can not be gotten rid of. New names add characteristics, they don't remove old characteristics. Choose the right name. Make sure the name does not seriously conflict with your birth name or with your birth date. Change your name the least number of times as feasible. Or change it not at all.

Determine the Right New Name (and Whether or Not to Proceed with the Change)
There are six steps to determining a correct new name. 1. Decide what you want from the name. 2. Obtain a numerology reading of your birth name and become familiar with your life path as determined by your birth date. 3. Make a list of acceptable names. 4. Narrow the list down to no more than three. 5. Get a full, in depth numerology reading for each name remaining on the list. 6. Compare the readings and make a determination.
To find a name that will be conducive to your success, first determine what success means to you. Some names are better for successfully raising a family. Others are better for successfully managing corporations. Decide what accomplishment is equivalent to success for you and choose a name that supports it and makes it more likely. If your success means being wealthy, determine what wealth means to you and then choose a name that supports it. Perhaps it means the ability to travel where and how you please, or the freedom to experience anything you wish, or the ability to attract a high-society spouse, or the ability to buy and run any company, or something else altogether. No name is good for everything. No name is perfect for everyone. If you just want a name that is good, you will need to decide what good means to you before you can know whether or not a certain name is good. Because your old name's inclinations will always be present, the more specific you are with what you want from the new name, the more likely it is to give it to you. Broad, general wants are less likely to work. When you have decided what you want, write it down. You will refer to it often in most of the following steps.

2. Obtain a numerology reading of your birth name and become familiar with your life path as determined by your birth date.
Get a free numerology reading at this web site and print it out. Use your birth name and birth date for the reading. Notice that the reading has a section labeled "Your Life's Path." That section is determined by your birth date. Birth date interpretations do not change when a name changes. Therefore, it is important any new name does not conflict with the life path. The birth date is a indication what your life path will be. You'll generally do best when your name resonates with your birth date. For example, a life path to bring many new experiences will clash with a name for doing one special thing well. It would be a life with an undertone of stress and much indecision. Therefore, understand your life path interpretation before deciding on a name. The part of the free reading above the "Your Life's Path" section has to do with your current name. Because the influence of names are never removed, it is important to be aware of this interpretation when deciding on a new name to avoid conflicting characteristics. It is not good to introduce conflicts - unless what you are looking for in a new name requires tension.

When you have a reading printed out for each name on your list, grade them for: How well you like the name. Score a number from 1 to 10 10 for "like it very much." 5 for "like it but not very special." 1 for "like it only a little". Write the score on the printout. How well it resonates with your birth name. Some dissonance is expected, otherwise there would be no desire to change the name. Score a number from 1 to 3 3 for "resonates well on everything." 2 for "some conflict, but nothing serious." 1 for "conflicting on everything". Write the score on the printout.

How well the name resonates with your life path. Score a number from 1 to 6 6 for "resonates well on everything." 3 for "some conflict, but nothing serious." 1 for "conflicting on everything". Write the score on the printout. How well the interpretation aligns with your reason for a new name. Score a number from 1 to 10 10 for "aligns perfectly." 5 for "about half of the reading aligns well." 1 for "no alignment". Write the score on the printout. Each of those items are important. Be honest when you grade the names. When each item has been graded for a name, add up the scores. Write the score on the printout. Do each of those steps for every name on your list.

on how well the reading does or does not resonate with your birth name and birth date. If you still have two or more readings that are equally preferred, it may be time to consult a psychic or tarot reader for feedback. If none of the complete readings are acceptable, go back to the "Decide what you want from the name" step and do the full exercise again. Perhaps this time you will think of the perfect name. Before continuing, decide whether or not you really want to change your name. Change your name only if it feels like the absolutely correct thing to do. Realize that your own determinism, your own actions, and your persistence are stronger than any name. The name can help or hinder, but it can never take over.

Let People and Businesses Know Your New Name and Insist On Its Use
If you decided to go ahead and change your name, assume the new name and let people know. It can not be a name change unless the new name is used. Foremost, you need to identify yourself as that name. In all actions and thoughts, be the person with that name. The more you identify with the new name, the more it's numerological influence can be effective. Everybody and every business who uses your name needs to be informed of the change. Family, friends, acquaintances. Bank accounts, contracts and written agreements, postal mail delivery, Facebook account, all those and others need to be informed of the new name and records updated. Insist your new name be used. After all, you are no longer the old name; if someone addresses you by the old name, it is not you. The more others identify you as being the person with that name, the easier it is for you to identify yourself that way. A name change notice in newspapers, blogs, and other publications may help.

The more you assume your identity as the new name and the more others see you as the new name, the more effective your new name will be. Signatures, titles on property, identification cards the more things that identify you as the new name, the more effective the name is. Still, it may take months or years for the new name to become as effective as it will be. Much depends on how well you assume your new identity. Some depends on how others see you because that can have an effect on how you see yourself.

Make it Official
Making your new name official gives it more power. Depending on where you live, making it official may be publishing your name change in a public newspaper. In other areas, it may entail a recognition of the new name through a proceeding in a court of law. Unless you have a compelling reason not to, make your new name your official name. Your name has huge and long-term effects on your life. However, it does not run your life, unless you provide no self-determinism at all. Names bring personal tendencies and inclinations and a likelihood that certain events or situations will manifest. A name change is a crucial decision. It is crucial to get it right if you're going to do it at all.
