I have had interest in Numerology for a long time, and I don't see how changing a name would do any good.

You calculate your numbers from birth... Your birthday, your birth name...

Some vibrations can be calculated using nicknames, or the name you go by, but those are external and/or temporary for the most part, as far as I have studied.

I think changing a name would be more of a way to ignore, deny, or neglect issues that you really need to take charge of. Each number has positive and negative sides, and if you find the negative is in more control, then it is a sign that you should take a proactive stance in asserting the positive forces of that number vibration.

I mean, you can't just change your address and think that the bill collectors will forget who you are. You might have a reprieve for awhile, but when they find you (and they will) you have that much more interest to pay off... I think our numbers represent Karma that way.
