If you’re on the hunt for baby names with a numerological value of 8, you’re in luck! Because today’s post features hundreds of 8-names.
Before we get to the names, though — how do we know that they’re “eights” 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 Wyatt correspond to the numbers 23, 25, 1, 20, and 20. The sum of these numbers is 89. The digits of 89 added together equal 17, and the digits of 17 added together equal 8 — the numerological value of Wyatt.

8 is considered to be the luckiest number in China (and some other asian countries) followed by 9 and 6. 8 is considered lucky because it sounds like the word prosperity while 6 sounds like smooth (things will go smoothly) and well off and 9 means longevity. So they try to fill their liscense plates, phone numbers, etc with as much 8s, 9s, and 6s as they can. 8s are often seen on red envelopes in Chinese New Year
