Choosing a name for your baby is one of the most emotional and important decisions you make as a parent. While many people pick names based on trends, family traditions, or personal likes, there is another powerful method—Numerology.
Numerology is the study of numbers and their energies. It helps understand the vibration of a name and how it can shape a child’s personality, life path, and future.
Let’s understand how to choose the best baby name using numerology in a simple and clear way.
1. What is Numerology in Baby Naming?
Numerology works on the belief that every letter of the alphabet carries a specific number and vibration. When you add up the numbers in a name, it gives a Name Number that reflects certain personality traits, strengths, and life patterns.
When you choose a name for your baby through numerology, you try to give a name whose number matches the child’s birth date or Life Path Number, to bring harmony, success, and happiness.

2. The Numerology Number Chart (Pythagorean System)
Each letter is assigned a number from 1 to 9:
Number Letters
1 - A, J, S
2 - B, K, T
3 - C, L, U
4 - D, M, V
5 - E, N, W
6 - F, O, X
7 - G, P, Y
8 - H, Q, Z
9 - I, R
So if your baby’s name is RAHUL:
R = 9
A = 1
H = 8
U = 3
L = 3
Now add all these: 9 + 1 + 8 + 3 + 3 = 24, and then 2 + 4 = 6
So, RAHUL has a Name Number of 6.
3. What is the Life Path Number?
To match the name correctly, you should first calculate your baby’s Life Path Number using the date of birth.
For example, if the baby is born on 15th June 2024:
Day: 1 + 5 = 6
Month: June is 6
Year: 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8
Now add: 6 + 6 + 8 = 20 → 2 + 0 = 2
So, Life Path Number is 2.
4. Matching Name Number with Life Path Number
Now comes the important part—matching your baby’s Name Number with the Life Path Number for balance.
Here’s a basic guide:
Life Path Number Best Matching Name Numbers
1 - 1, 5, 6
2 - 2, 6, 9
3 - 3, 6, 9
4 - 1, 4, 8
5 - 1, 5, 7
6 - 2, 3, 6
7 - 2, 5, 7
8 - 1, 4, 8
9 - 3, 6, 9
In the example above, Rahul = 6, and Life Path = 2 → good match.
5. Meaning of Each Name Number
Each number has a unique personality. Choose based on what qualities you want in your child:
Leader, strong-willed, independent
Peaceful, emotional, caring
Creative, joyful, expressive
Disciplined, stable, practical
Adventurous, free-spirited, smart
Loving, responsible, family-oriented
Spiritual, thinker, calm
Ambitious, business-minded, powerful
Humanitarian, kind, wise
6. Tips to Choose a Name with Numerology
Use the full name, including middle name if any, for final number calculation.
Avoid name numbers that clash with the baby’s Life Path Number.
Try different spellings if needed (like Aarav vs Arav) to adjust the number.
Always check total vibration—does the name feel pleasant and balanced?
You can also consult a numerologist for deep analysis based on the full date and time of birth.
7. Should You Change the Spelling for Numerology?
Yes, small changes in spelling can shift the name number. Many celebrities do it—like adding an extra letter or changing the order slightly. This is called Name Correction in numerology.
But it’s important that the name still sounds natural and easy to pronounce.
Example:
Anaya = A (1) + N (5) + A (1) + Y (7) + A (1) = 15 → 6
If you want to make it a 9, you may add a letter or choose a similar-sounding name with a different number.
8. Bonus: Lucky Letters for Each Number
Some believe that the first letter of the name should also support the child’s number. Here's a quick guide:
Life Path Number Lucky Letters to Start With
1 - A, J, S
2 - B, K, T
3 - C, L, U
4 - D, M, V
5 - E, N, W
6 - F, O, X
7 - G, P, Y
8 - H, Q, Z
9 - I, R
So if your child’s Life Path Number is 6, you may consider names starting with F, O, or X.
