How to Choose a Baby Name Based on Numerology
- 1
  Determine the numerology number of a possible baby first name by pairing it with the child's last name. A name, or destiny, number is reached using a full name and an alphanumeric numerology chart, which is found in numerology references, such as Astrology-Numerology.com (see Resources below). The letters of the alphabet are given numeric coordinates, and a final name number is determined using digit summing.

  Get the name number for Mary Smith. The corresponding numbers on the numerology chart are 4, 1, 9 and 7 for Mary and 1, 4, 9, 2 and 8 for Jones. Add the two sets of numbers together: 4+1+9+7=21 and 1+4+9+2+8=24. Add the two sums together: 21+24=45. Add the two digits together: 4+5=9. Nine is Mary's name number.
