The name you're born with will exert some power over you for your entire life, but altering that name can change you in fundamental ways. Numerologist Hans Decoz's Name Advisor shows how five stars transformed into superstars after dropping a name (or three).
From Tyra Banks to Tyra
With her own daytime talk show, Tyra Banks took a page out of The Divine Miss O's playbook and all but dropped the Banks. Numerology says this was the right thing to do. The name "Tyra Banks" is dominated by the number 3, making her optimistic and enthusiastic. It also lacks focus and discipline, making her seem flighty and unstable. The base vibration -- or underlying rhythm of the name -- is also a 3, which indicates luck and early success, but not in the long-term. By dropping the Banks, she is dominated by the number 1, a masculine, aggressive creative force with a strong will to succeed. This is softened by a base vibration of 2, making her friendly, unpretentious, and someone who draws people in. Look out Oprah -- Tyra might give you a run for your money!
