Well someone at least had the courage. Even his answer hadn't been entirely complete. "Except you forgot one thing. Where you get the numbers. Which of course, you get the the numbers from the Pythagorean Number System." But as per usual, they wouldn't be doing their own surnames just yet.
"Because your family that you've formed here at Hogwarts is so important," at least Fina thought it was. "I'd like you to pick a famous historical figure from your house, be it your house founder, or just simply someone from history who was in your house who you find .... inspirational, and calculate their Family Name Number. Knowing that this number reveals one's inner subconscious response to life, how do you think their family name number fit in with the way their life led?"
ooc: you may use your house founder's name. A name in history. I don't want you using a name from Harry Potter's generation though, if you can help it. Try and think back farther if possible =).
Famous historical Ravenclaws? Vickers paused for a moment then looked around at the other students in blue robes. What are the chances that they would all be figuring out Rowena or Helena Ravenclaw's name? Vickers dug through his bag and pulled out his textbook, leafing through historical figures who's Hogwarts house was fortunately mentioned.
Then he came across the name of
Garrick Ollivander. He was Ravenclaw? But of course he would! That would make so much sense why his wands were the best.
Vickers started scribbling the famed wandmaker's name down, and started to do the calculations. When finished, he flipped open his Arthmancy book and noted down what the number equivalency meant....

FOUR (4): You inherit a belief that hard work is the right way to work, a sense of cautiousness, thoroughness, and self-discipline.
Wow would you look at that...
Vickers raised his hand on the Professor's question
"Professor, the Ravenclaw figure I selected is Garrick Ollivander. His family name number is 4, and it does fit him rather well because it was through hard work, thoroughness and self-discipline that he became the best wand maker this side of the Magical World. "
