What is a name number in numerology?

Your name number is your full name reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9 using the Pythagorean chart. Each digit is linked to a set of personality traits and a love style.

Should I use my full name or nickname?

Try both. Your birth name and the name you go by can carry different numbers, and comparing them is a fun way to see the different sides numerology assigns to you.
