Which name should I use?

The convention is your full name as first recorded at birth - not a nickname or married name. Try variants if you want to compare.

What system does this use?

Pythagorean, where A-I map to 1-9, J-R to 1-9 again, and S-Z to 1-8. For the Chaldean system, use the lucky-name calculator.

Is this the same as the life path?

No. The life path (Bhagyank) comes from your date of birth; the destiny number comes from your name.
