Hi Lorrie,
It is my understanding that the name, the number, the mark are all symbolic of the same thing - what a person is with this carnal human nature - a beast.
Here is an email about the mark of the beast.

Think for just a moment. Who would receive this "mark." Why EVERYONE. So therefore, EVERYONE could "buy and sell," couldn't they? This is all RELIGIOUS NONSENSE, Paula. It is the Church that is filling people's heads with this nonsense. The mark is not a literal mark, or tatoo, or imbedded computer chip. Besides, why would we need one on our hand AND ON OUR FOREHEAD? This is all symbolism. Read my "Lake of Fire" series for explanations of many of these symbols.
God be with you,
Ray
