Who a 38 name suits
A name is read against the owner’s birth number. 2 is friendly to 1, 2, 3, 9 birth numbers and clashes with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. If your own birth number is one of those, a 38 name is the wrong fit however lucky the compound reads on its own.
How a name reaches 38
38 is the total of every letter before it is reduced, so it depends on spelling, not on how the name sounds. In the Chaldean table the heaviest letters are F and P at 8, O and Z at 7, and U, V and W at 6, while A, I, J, Q and Y count as 1. Adding or dropping a single letter moves the total by that letter’s value, which is why a 38 can become 37 or 46 with one change.
