Hello knowflakes!

I don't have the book with me because I left it in my hometown. It's been a long time since I read it so I don't remember the rule anymore. Can you tell me how to count the surname if it's composed of two words?

For example:

JOANNA LAS ISLAS
LAS: 3+1+3=7
ISLAS: 1+3+3+1+3=11

Do I add 7 and 11 to get 18, and further reduce to 9?

And what do I do if both first name and surname are 11? Do I add them to get 22 as the end compound number for his whole name?

No, you add the 7, 11, and whatever the first name comes to (2 in this example). Each is treated separately. The compound number would be 20. This rule is found on page 213. And yes to your last question.

Thanks, Randall!

One more please

If Joanna's two-word surname is:

1+5+1+3+1+2 = 13 = 4
1+2+7+6 = 16 = 7

the total is 11. I will add this 11 to the 2 (Joanna). So her compound number is 13?

No, in this case, each name is its own number, so it wouldn't equal 11 plus 2. There is no Master Number, so the 11 won't apply. Although, you still get the same result of 13 (this time).

May I ask:

Does it make a difference if you use a -for the name.
e.g.
Jeylir-Abou

Are they considered as one name?

I'll have to double check, but I think so.

It is considered as "one" name in my country.

That would be my guess.

Linda's example showed no hyphen. I would say one word. But if you CHOOSE to create it by adding a surname and hyphenated married name, then maybe two words.

Those names are seldom, but they are written down like that in the birth certificate. Maybe time is changing.

I believe that even with the hyphen the two thus connected names remain two seperate names.
