Hi Excellence1. In numerology, your full birth name is just as important as your current name, date of birth and such...it also helps to know if you want a personality reading, compatibility, forecast and that type of thing... if you want to learn a bit more about numerology I found this site to be quite good
http://www.decoz.com/numerology_freeStuff.htm. It has some free numerology software besides the one you can get on mysticboard.com after becoming an avid poster ;). Also, some sites like tarot.com offer free sample readings that are quite good and free full readings either at a charge or free if using trial pay offers.
I hope that helps.
Blessings!
