I think that many people wondered about changing their first and last names, and most importantly, how it would affect their lives. Probably, it is impossible to get an unambiguous answer here, because there are too many concepts about this. But we will try.
Undoubtedly, we are faced with the fact that many do not like what their parents called them, and there are surnames, to put it mildly, funny and ridiculous, with which it is really difficult to live. The first factor that is really important for a person is self-confidence, how can it be without it … Without self-confidence it is simply impossible to live normally: we cannot fulfill our potential and communicate normally with people, feeling constrained (we think that people can condemn us only for the fact that we have some unusual name or funny surname). Yes, as experience shows, all these fears have a place to be. Someone feels great with the name Marina, but for someone this name is generally unacceptable, and the girl wants to change it, hoping that, for example, the name Polina will bring something better to life,or trite - a person feels exactly like Polina and not Marina. The same story happens with surnames, someone, say, Brekhunov, and he is quite comfortable, and someone wants to change this surname to Smirnov, believing that it is precisely this vibration of the surname that will give him confidence, and he will be able to achieve career or personal heights. Let's look at this issue from several angles.
Religious name
It is customary for Orthodox people to give two names: the name at baptism, and the name that a person will wear in worldly life. This is due to the fact that during baptism a person is “given” a Guardian Angel who will protect him all his life, and this name, which was given at baptism, cannot be disclosed to anyone. This makes sense, and it lies in the fact that if a person wants to do something "dark", then it will be practically impossible to do it, because in any rituals, a person's name is used, but it turns out that it is actually quite different. Therefore, it is believed that the name at baptism serves as a talisman. Catholics, as I recently found out, have a completely different situation, and it is not a fact that this judgment will apply to all countries. But in the country where I live, it happens like this: a person is given one name at baptism, a second name is called for, so to speak,everyday life, and the third name can be chosen by the person himself upon reaching the age of majority. It seems to me that this approach is the most humane, since already at the age of 16, you can completely decide what you want to be called. The Muslim faith in this aspect is very strict, I probably have never met such a thing that Malika and Magomed had a son, Alexei, or a daughter, Katya. Everything is complicated here, and each family follows certain principles and rules, but one of them, and, as it seems to me, common to everyone, is that the names should be exactly Muslim, and then they are named after someone along the line of the father or mother. I have never met any information about changing a name in Islam, although when a baby is baptized (in the Muslim faith this is called "Naming a name"), just like everyone else, a different name may be given.and the third name can be chosen by the person himself upon reaching the age of majority.

Numerology of first and last name
The second aspect is the numerology of the first and last name. As we all know, there is a correspondence of letters to numbers, and everyone can easily calculate which number corresponds to his first and last name. Accordingly, each number gives a certain vibration, strong or weak, adds or subtracts certain traits in our character. In women, the vibration changes with marriage and a change in surname, but I cannot say that all this is critical. By my own example, I can say that when I got married and changed my surname, I did not notice any radical changes in my life. Then, over time, I "almost" changed my real name to the name Tomiris, this change also did not entail anything. I cannot say that I have become more confident in myself, I have not suffered from a lack of confidence before, I cannot say that changing my last name turned my life upside down. As an example I want to show youthat before marriage, the numerology of my last name was the number 9, now the code of my last name is 3. 9 gave me - kindness, tolerance and calmness. Nines always come to the aid of other people, professionally they very often become teachers, medical workers or writers - I have been and am engaged in almost everything except medicine at the moment. 3 - ka is the number of talent and all-round development, the desire to be in the spotlight. As a rule, Troikas are optimists and the soul of the company. In the profession, they are writers, musicians and very good orators. So, in fact, I did not lose anything at all, or, on the contrary, I gained or added even more positive qualities. As for the name, the situation looks like this: the number of my real name is 8. Eights almost always require attention and recognition. The Eight is in constant search and striving for something new. Eights are often in finance or administration. The number of the name Tomiris is also 8, so it happened that I do not contradict myself, although the choice of the name Tomiris was completely spontaneous, and I did not do any calculations, it just came to my mind and that's it …

Examples of name change and fate change
But I know several people who changed their first and last name helped start a new life. With the names and surnames given by her parents, the girl was a completely "downtrodden" child: she spoke little, could not express her thoughts, tried to be a diligent daughter for her parents and study well. Over time, she got tired of all this, because the temperament made itself felt, she decided to change her name and surname - the result for her was extremely positive. She feels completely differently, she gained confidence in herself, now she is sociable and pleased with herself. Therefore, if you think that the problem is in the name or surname and think that it can change your life, why not try it?
The guy had about the same story, but it consisted in the fact that his last name was ridiculous, and he could not get a normal job, because he was not taken seriously, and everyone around asked the question: “Well, how does he live? with that last name? When changing his surname, everything went completely differently, now he can proudly say that he is Smith (for example), without lowering his eyes and without blushing. This gave him incredible self-confidence, and now the guy thinks about only one thing - why didn't he do it earlier? From all this we conclude that there is nothing wrong with changing the name and surname. If it is good for you, and you think that this step will really change your life for the better - change it to your health!
