Professor Shackleton nodded in agreement, "Precisely! Take a peppermint toad!"

Professor Shackleton informed the class, "As Satine has stated, if we are strictly speaking about the Destiny Number, it will be the same as any other person with the exact same name as you. However, the entire Arithmancy profile would not be the same at all because many numbers are calculated using your date of birth, which would be entirely different from a parent or grandparent with the same name. Within the Core, the Life Path Number would be entirely different and so how the Destiny Number fits in with the Life Path would completely be altered versus a parent. And so, while many things will be common to those with the same exact names, there will also be many differences."

She gave the students enough time to take notes before concluding, "What I want you all to gather from our discussion is that the name on the birth certificate is always the name you use to calculate the official Destiny Number and that addenda like Jr. or Sr. are not factored into the calculation. Are there any questions up until this point?"
