A student from my class at Discover U in Seattle, wrote with this feedback about her numerology chart and a name question:

"I received the charts and enjoyed reading them very much.  It was amazing how much I resonated with so much of the information.  3 and 9 have always been significant in my life.  The charts help to clarify their importance even more.

I had expected my married name chart to be very different from my birth chart and was surprised to see that it really was in harmony with my birth chart.  Both were very insightful.

I have one question. 
What is the significance, if any, of those women who chose to change from their married name back to their birth name or a completely different name?   Ramona

To Ramona, I wrote:

 
I am one of those women you are curious about.  I felt the need to change my name after my first divorce because I was no longer Mrs. So and So.  Even though my kids had their father's name, I didn't feel it necessary for my name to be the same as theirs.  On the other hand, I had no desire to return to my maiden name.  That felt, energetically, like going backwards (I didn't want to return to that "young, insecure" self that I felt myself to be under my maiden name.)

I chose Adrienne because I always like the sound of it.  It is also my daughter's middle name.  I was going to spell it Adrian because it looked more like a middle name, but then I changed to Adrienne because the numerological impact was that it matched my Birthpath number (11/2).
