Why Only Some Name Changes Are Successful

There are many reasons that people change their names.

Sometimes a name change works. Sometimes not.

And sometimes it even seems like the name change made things worse.

The failures are likely to stem from one or more false premises — ideas that a name change will do certain things that simply aren't true.

A name change can work if it is done for reasons related to (a) profession or (b) personal preference.

But a name change won't get rid of personal problems. It won't automatically make a person rich. Someone you have a romantic interest in won't subconsciously be more attracted to you.

The energy represented by a new name may have a profound effect for a person. Or not.

Every name represents certain numerology energies. The energies are subtle, yet persistent, and tend to have an effect on the characteristics of the person with the name.

A person's outlook on life can be affected by a name change — their desires, and how they approach life situations. Those and other aspects of the person an individual knows themself to be generally are hugely influenced by the numerology energies of their name.

Changing a name changes the numerology energies. That's because each name is unique and represents unique energies.

Changing ones name for professional reasons can influence one's approach to the profession.

Changing ones name for personal reasons can influence how one approaches and experiences life in general.

The name energies are an influence. They don't demand compliance. Everybody has free will.

The more a person identifies with a new name, the more influence the new name energies can have.

Instant change should not be expected. It will take a bit of time to identify as the new name. It may take months, or even years.

Some of the reasons a name change is unsuccessful relate to assuming changing the name will be all that is necessary.

But it's not.

A person also has to identify themself as the new name, to live the name. And they need to allow themself to be influenced by the new name's energies (rather than using free will to maintain their old and comfortable personal characteristics).

Another thing to consider is that the energies of the birth name never go away.

Birth name energies are likely to lose some influence as the new name is assumed and more closely identified with. However, the new name energies do not replace the birth name energies. Instead, they build on the birth name energies.

The energies of a name change are so important to consider that it is prudent to obtain a full name reading before finalizing a decision to change your name.

The energies a name represents are determined with specific numerology calculations.

The most important calculations are to determine the core number energies. Less important aspects, yet energies that can have a noticeable effect, also need to be considered. Some of those are the cornerstone, open heart, and capstone energies.

Changing your name can change the numerology energy that affects the person you are.
