Numerology in Names 

"Letter Value" can indeed make or mar one life's pathway.

Napoleon is a case in point. From being a mere soldier, he became the Emperor of France and later the most powerful figure in Europe till his fall in the Battle of Waterloo. In his rise and fall, there was an apparent name change association. Many numerologists believe that when he changed the spelling from NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE to NAPOLEON BONA PARTE prior to the Battle of Waterloo, the deletion of 'U' resulted in the value of the key number reduced from 10 to 4 - a are of failure. 

Napoleon, by no means, is singular in being impacted by the key number 4. It is the same number that accounted for ADOLF HITLER’S failure and so it was with Richard Nixon. In case of Nixon, the numerological number works out to 41 - a number that can raise the native to sky high and, all of a sudden, drop him like a hot potato and not everybody can cope with the situation and bounce back. 

Consider now the name of AMARTYA SEN, our Nobel Laureate. His name was created by Gurudev Rabindranath whose wisdom also embraced numerology and hasn't he shone brilliantly here as well! 

This is the pyramidal analysis of his name:

    4 4  2 8  4  1 3 6

       7  8 7  5  4 3
