Name / Expression number

Life Path reduces month, day and year separately before adding them. Life Path and name numbers keep 11, 22 and 33. Birth and calendar-cycle numbers reduce to 1–9.

Names are added as one complete spelling in our method. Some traditions reduce each first, middle and last name separately; their results can differ.

Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are displayed as calculated. Their reflection themes use the reduced roots 2, 4 and 6.

Name values: A–I = 1–9, J–R = 1–9, S–Z = 1–8. Spaces, apostrophes, hyphens and periods are ignored. Y is always a consonant in this version.

Personal year = birth month + birth day + selected year, reduced. Personal month adds the selected month; personal day then adds the selected day. Other traditions may use different conventions.

Name-game score = 100 × (8 − difference between the two single-digit name numbers) ÷ 8, rounded to a whole number. This formula is our editorial game, not a traditional compatibility rule.

FLAMES cancels matching letters once per occurrence, then repeatedly counts the remaining letters around F–L–A–M–E–S to remove a letter until one remains.

Vehicle numbers use all entered letters and digits. Phone numbers use all entered digits. Neither result measures luck, safety or future success.

The reference explains several numerology conventions. Our whole-name variant and editorial name game are specified above.
