Choosing a name is one of the first gifts a family gives a child. Numerology can be one of several lenses, alongside meaning, sound, family tradition and language.
Start with what matters to your family
Most families begin with a starting letter or sound, a meaning they love, or a family name to honour. Numerology works best as a way to choose between names you already like.
How the numbers are checked
Each letter has a number value. The total of the full name, including the surname, is compared with the number from the baby’s date of birth to see how well they sit together.
Spelling can help
Sometimes a small spelling variation keeps the name you love while shifting its number. It is always a choice, never a requirement.
