In Chaldean numerology, the total name number represents the fusion of vibrations from both the first name and surname, constituting a highly significant figure akin in importance to the birth date number in the month. It embodies our fundamental activities, goals, and visions, serving as the active principle and the foundational number of an individual’s conscious soul level. This number garners robust support from primal energies.
Altering the first name or surname can modify this name number, thus influencing or mitigating the trajectory of one’s fate—a practice commonly employed by numerologists in their consultations. It’s worth noting that while all other name numbers are comparatively weaker, collectively, they operate with the same potency as the total name number. Additionally, name numbers derived from the personal name typically wield slightly more influence than those derived from the surname.

What about middle names? Or those who have more than one surname? Are they included in the TNN calculations.

Hello,
In this case, we’re dealing with several levels of analysis. For example, if the first given name equals 20 and the second equals 10, their combined influence is 21. But if the first given name is 10 and the second is 20, the result is 12, which can be a challenging number. The same applies to surnames.
If someone has three (or even four) given names (or surnames), we simply add their reduced values. For instance, a name with 10, another with 20, and a third with 15 gives us 1 + 2 + 6 = 9 (with 10 + 20 + 15 = 45 in the background).
How do we get the Total Name Number (TNN)?
For example, if one given name is 10 and the second is 20, together they make 12. If the surname is 20, then 12 and 20 combine into 32.
It’s important to emphasize that the names we use most often always carry the strongest influence. Fore example: instead of Donald John Trump or Donald J. Trump, the form Donald Trump has the strongest energetic effect.

want to add how do we calculate name values that are less than 10? Do we keep them singular or make them compound?

The Danish “post-Chaldean school” adds the birth date number to a first name or surname that has a value below 10, with the goal of converting it into a compound number. For example, Ana = 1+5+1 = 7. If the birthday is on the 23rd of the month, that’s 2+3 = 5. We then add 7+5 = 12. But if the birthday is on the 10th of the month, we would add 7+1 = 8. Since this is still a single-digit number, they add 9, making it 7+1+9 = 17.
I must point out that this approach is not found in traditional numerology! Personally, I don’t use it, as the classical models of analysis are sufficient for me. In other words, I don’t subscribe to the Danish numerological school. That said, you are, of course, free to try their technique.
How do I personally analyze such numerological charts? You can read more about it in the article: In Search of the Compound TNN and Active Compound Number.

thank you! In my case, my middle names are not first or last names, they simply carry the lineage. For example, what comes after my first name is my father’s name followed by my grandparent’s name followed by my surname, etc. In this case, I’m not sure if I should consider my middle names as my full surname or not.

Yes. If you are known only by one given name and one surname, then your vibration is drawn solely from those two elements. However, if people regularly call you by all of your names, then those additional numbers carry significant power.
There is no black-and-white rule here. In some cases, the stronger influence comes from just one given name and one surname. In other cases, it may come from the combination of all given names and surnames, or perhaps from being addressed with two given names and one surname. The key factor is frequency of use.
In most cases, the number derived from all names and surnames together is not especially strong. This is my view, and also the opinion of most Chaldean numerologists.
That said, there are (post-)Chaldean numerologists who follow the Danish school. In their approach, they do in fact take into account all given names and surnames. If you’re interested in that method, you can look into the work of the couple Ehwas & Ehwas (Numerologistpro) or of August Darius Daniselsson (Numerology Toolbox).

do I add middle name as part of my first name or last name in my case if I use it as part of my full name? Or add it separately?

A (first/personal name), B (middle name) & C (last name)
If the middle name clearly functions as a second personal name, then it belongs with the first names. In that case, we first determine the compound number Y = AB, and then add C to form a new compound number YC.
If, however, the middle name is actually a family name, then we first define the compound number X = BC, and only then establish the Total Name Number (TNN) as AX.
When multiple middle names are present, and they are personal names, we combine them: Z = A + B + C. From this total, together with the surname D, we determine the TNN: ZD.
If it is unclear whether the middle name should be classified as a personal name or a surname, then it MUST NOT be treated as either. In such cases, we apply the formula of direct addition: A + B + C…
