Is Initial in Name Required?

I'm uncertain whether you're asking if an initial is required in order to calculate a numerology chart or is required to result in the name number you want.

To answer the first, an initial isn't required in numerology. A numerology reading can be done regardless how the name is spelled.

For the second, if you must have 19, then you'll need to spell the name so it calculates to 19.

I'm unable to help you with that because my numerology practice is Pythagorean and the calculations result in different numbers than the ones you stated in your question.

Perhaps you're consulting a numerologist who practices Chaldean. That numerologist may be able to help answer your question and, perhaps, help you with spelling so you do get the number you want.

With Pythagorean numerology, all your daughter's major name numbers are good numbers — with and without the R. initial.

The name number (destiny) (with and without the R initial) is the number 8 and birth date number (life path) is also the number 8. It's a good number for material comfort.

Most readings are more accurate when the name provided is the one that's first recorded at birth. The family name is generally included in the reading even if it wasn't recorded at birth.

The energy of the first-recorded name stays with the person their entire life, to some degree, even if there are name changes.
