Why Numerology for Baby Names?

Before we get into the how, let’s touch on the why. Using numerology in this way isn’t about superstition; it’s about tuning into the idea that numbers have power and that our names, which are a collection of letters, also carry this numerical energy.

By paying attention to numerology, you’re giving your child’s name a deeper meaning, choosing a name with the right vibrational energies that will support them in all aspects of life. You aren’t just giving a name; you’re laying the foundation for a successful life by choosing one with a strong sense of positive energy.

Numerology Can Help You:

• Choose names with positive personality traits and charming personalities.
• Create a beautiful balance of relationships in their life.
• Connect the name with the baby’s life path to avoid conflicts.
• Ensure that a child’s name represents their heart’s desire.
• Select names with deeper, spiritual significance to help them on their life journey.

Your Name’s Number: The Simple Calculation

The best part? Calculating a name number is surprisingly easy! There are a few different approaches to calculations, but we’ll focus on the most common, which uses Pythagorean numerology. This involves assigning numerical values to letters. Let’s get started:

The Numerical Chart

Here’s how each letter translates to a number using Pythagorean values:

Letter	Number	Letter	Number	Letter	Number
A, J, S	1	B, K, T	2	C, L, U	3
D, M, V	4	E, N, W	5	F, O, X	6
G, P, Y	7	H, Q, Z	8	I, R	9

Adding It Up

Take the potential names you’re considering and add up the numerical values of each letter in the complete birth name (first, middle, and last). For example, let’s take “Olivia Rose Smith”:

• Olivia: O(6) + L(3) + I(9) + V(4) + I(9) + A(1) = 32
• Rose: R(9) + O(6) + S(1) + E(5) = 21
• Smith: S(1) + M(4) + I(9) + T(2) + H(8) = 24

Total: 32 + 21 + 24 = 77

Getting to the Heart (Single Digit)

Keep adding the digits of the sum until you get a single-digit number between 1 and 9, unless you get 11, 22, or 33 (these are master numbers). For our example, 7 + 7 = 14, and 1 + 4 = 5. So, the Name Number for “Olivia Rose Smith” is 5.

Note: Master numbers 11, 22, and 33 are powerful numbers and are not reduced to a single digit. They are associated with great potential and energies of wisdom. Learn more about master numbers in numerology.

Matching Names to Birth Dates (Life Path Numbers)

Your baby’s birthdate reveals their life path number, which is like their personal roadmap. Combining a compatible name with a birthdate that works well with their destiny will help the child on their journey of discovery.

Birth Date Calculation

Add up all the digits of your baby’s birth date. For instance, a baby born on March 15, 2024 (3/15/2024) is calculated as follows:
3 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 17. Then, reduce it to a single-digit number: 1 + 7 = 8. So, the life path number is 8.

The Magic Match

Ideally, you want your baby’s name number to harmonize with their life path number. Numbers that are from the same families tend to pair well:

• 1, 3, and 5: Strong sense of creativity and individuality.
• 2, 4, and 6: Deep sense of care, nurturing, and responsibility.
• 7, 8, and 9: Deep sense of wisdom and understanding.

For example, a 7 life path with a 7, 8, or 9 name number will be an extraordinary connection. Learn more about life path compatibility.
