Reasons to Change Your Name

Reasons to change your name should be compelling, not frivolous or on a whim. Perhaps it is socially important, as a name change when a person gets married. Or the name is changed for a professional reason.

When a name is changed, the numerology energies represented by the birth name remain. The new name may

• add new energies,
• harmonize and enhance previous name energies, and/or
• conflict and agitate previous name energies.

In some situations, there may be little or no flexibility available with the spelling of the new name. A name change because of marriage is an example.

If there is leeway, it may be prudent to consult a professional numerologist who specializes in name changes. A name change can introduce, enhance, or suppress energies that can effect a life, for better or for worse. Permanently.

Next, there's a list of some compelling reasons for changing one's name.

Compelling Reasons for Changing One's Name

This list of compelling reasons for changing one's name isn't meant to be comprehensive. The list is presented to convey a sense of what would have enough necessity to do a name change.

Marriage

In some countries and regions, it is traditional for one of the partners to change their name, generally the bride, so both have the same family or last name.

Pen Name

An author with an uninteresting or inappropriate name, or an author who writes in several genres, may adopt a pseudonym to use as a pen name for certain written works.

Actor Name

It is common and often expected that actors have names easy to remember or otherwise unique in some way that relates to their talents.

Other Professions

When a person's name is inappropriate for the career they're pursuing, it may help their career to change the name to something more fitting.

The above list are all good, compelling reasons to change one's name.

There is one reason for changing a name that may or may not be beneficial:

For a Better Numerology Profile

This behooves careful consideration. Be certain you're not changing your name to escape or sidestep problems or uncomfortable issues. Changing a name to make problems go away is likely to do the opposite — keeping the problems the person is resisting and perhaps adding new problems introduced by the new name.

Some of the reasons in the above list, such as a pen name and, perhaps not as easily, an actor name, the professional name might be used primarily and only for the reason the name was adopted. The rest of the time, the birth name may be used.
