Numerology: Baby names with a value of 4

Baby names with a numerological value of 4

If you’re on the hunt for baby names with a numerological value of 4, you’re in luck! Because today’s post features hundreds of 4-names.

Before we get to the names, though — how do we know that they’re “fours” in numerology?

Turning names into numbers

Here’s how to calculate the numerological value of a name.

First, for each letter, come up with a number to represent that letter’s position in the alphabet. (Letter A would be number 1, letter B would be number 2, and so forth.) Then, add all the numbers together. If the sum has two or more digits, add the digits together recursively until the result is a single digit. That single digit is the name’s numerological value.

For instance, the letters in the name Willow correspond to the numbers 23, 9, 12, 12, 15, and 23. The sum of these numbers is 94. The digits of 94 added together equal 13, and the digits of 13 added together equal 4 — the numerological value of Willow.

Baby names with a value of 4

Below you’ll find the most popular 4-names per gender, according to the latest U.S. baby name data. I’ve further sub-categorized them by total sums — just in case any of those larger numbers are significant to anyone.

Number 4: Significance and associations

What does the number four mean in numerology?

There’s no definitive answer, unfortunately, because various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number four. That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 4 being described as “hardworking,” “practical,” “stable,” “trustworthy,” and “detail-oriented.”

We can also look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 4:

  • Seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter)
  • Cardinal directions (north, south, east, west)
  • States of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma)
  • Original Greek classical elements (water, earth, air, fire)
  • Moon phases (new, half-moon waxing, full, half-moon waning)
  • Suits of playing cards (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades)
  • Suits of tarot cards (cups, coins, wands, swords)
  • Limbs (2 arms and 2 legs)
  • Baseball (4 bases)
  • Violin (4 strings)
  • Common time in music (4 beats per measure)
  • Arithmetic (4 basic operations)
  • Furniture (most furniture has four legs)

What does the number 4 mean to you? What are your strongest associations with the number?

Sophia tops Emily: Adjusting the most popular U.S. baby names

The Social Security Administration doesn’t combine spelling variations when compiling its annual list of popular baby names. Though this is probably the most logical way for them to present their data, it tends to skew the overall picture a bit.

For instance, according to the SSA, the top ten girl names in 2007 were Emily, Isabella, Emma, Ava, Madison, Sophia, Olivia, Abigail, Hannah and Elizabeth (in that order). If we account for spelling variations, though, the top ten is more like:

1stSophia (16,804)
Sofia (5,974)
22,778 (1.0930%)
2ndEmily (19,105)
Emely (1,011)
Emilee (782)
Emilie (507)
Emmalee (368)
21,773 (1.0447%)
3rdIsabella (18,874)
Izabella (1,475)
Isabela (625)
20,974 (1.0064%)
4thMadison (17,731)
Madyson (898)
Maddison (854)
Madisyn (843)
20,326 (0.9754%)
5thOlivia (16,329)
Alivia (1,628)
Alyvia (276)
18,233 (0.8748%)
6thEmma (18,127)18,127 (0.8698%)
7thAva (17,865)17,865 (0.8572%)
8thAbigail (15,292)
Abbigail (648)
Abigayle (313)
Abagail (309)
Abigale (279)
16,841 (0.8081%)
9thBrianna (8,741)
Briana (2,781)
Breanna (2,455)
Bryanna (703)
Breana (299)
14,979 (0.7186%)
10thAddison (11,823)
Addyson (1,368)
Addisyn (488)
Adyson (455)
Adison (395)
14,529 (0.6971%)

And this doesn’t account for several things:

  • Eva could be seen as a form of Ava. That would bring Ava/Eva up to 4th place.
  • Hailey, the 23rd most popular girl name, can also be spelled Hailee, Hailie, Haylee, Hayley, Haylie and Hayleigh. If you throw in Haley and Haleigh as well, that brings the entire name group up to 8th place. (I tend to pronounce these last two more like Halle/Hallie, though, so I didn’t do it that way.)

Unusual baby name spellings in Minnesota

Many parents choose to personalize their baby’s name by using a variant spelling. Here are some interesting baby name spellings that have been used recently in southeastern Minnesota, for example:

  • Madeline, Madalyn, Madelin, Madelyn, Madelynn, Madelynne, Madilyn, Matalynn
  • Madison, Madisyn, Madyson
  • Jackson, Jaxon, Jaxson
  • Collin, Colin, Calin
  • Dylan, Dillon, Dilyn
  • Owen, Owyn, Owin
  • Caiden, Cayden, Caden, Caedyn, Kaiden, Kayden, Kaden, Kaeden
  • Aiden, Aidan, Ayden, Aden, Aeyden
  • Jaden, Jayden, Jaedyn, Jaiden, Jadyn
  • Brayden, Braydan, Braden
  • Erik, Eric, Arik, Aeric
  • Hailey, Haley, Haylie, Haylee, Hayley
  • Kailey, Kaylie, Kaley, Kaylee, Kaileigh
  • Kiley, Kyleigh, Kylee
  • Kalli, Kally, Kalie
  • Chloe, Khloe, Kloey, Chloee
  • McKayla, Mackayla, Makaila, Mikaela
  • Savanna, Savannah, Syvannah
  • Olivia, Alyvia, Alivia

I found these in a recent article written by Aleta Capelle (who has a pretty cool name herself). The names come from babies born in Olmsted County, Minnesota from July 1, 2006 through July 1, 2007.
