According to the site Astrology Answers , the expression number is calculated with your full name, in case of having two names you must also use them avoiding the abbreviations. A number must be assigned to each letter of the alphabet using the following table:
1 – A, J, S

4 – D, T, F
5 – E, N, W
6 – F, O, X
