What name should I use for my profile? Why does it have to be my full name at birth?

The Pythagorean Sequence algorithms derive a series of insights about your personality, life cycles, and personal years from the letters in your FULL LEGAL NAME as it was first written when you were born. This is a major rule of the algorithm, and entering other versions of your name will give you innacurate results.

Of course, we understand that people often change their legal names multiple times throughout their lifetime. If this is your case, you can enter your current name in the "Legal Name Today" section of your profile, and we will be sure to use that in the sections where it matters. Just make sure to follow the instructions to get the most accurate profile.

If you don't like your full name at birth and don't want to see it, we understand. Our platform was designed to hide it, and it will not appear anywhere in your profile other than in the settings page. We will use your "First Name" and "Legal Name Today" everywhere else. We just need to know the full name at birth in order to use the Pythagorean Sequence in the proper way.
