If you’re on the hunt for baby names with a numerological value of 9, you’re in luck! Because today’s post features hundreds of 9-names.
Before we get to the names, though — how do we know that they’re “nines” 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 Rockwell correspond to the numbers 18, 15, 3, 11, 23, 5, 12, and 12. The sum of these numbers is 99. The digits of 99 added together equal 18, and the digits of 18 added together equal 9 — the numerological value of Rockwell.
Baby names with a value of 9
Below you’ll find the most popular 9-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.
9
The letters in the unisex baby name Ace add up to 9.
9 via 18
The letters in the following baby names add up to 18, which reduces to nine (1+8=9).
Girl names (9 via 18)
Boy names (9 via 18)
Lea, Gaia, Ela, Acacia, Addi
Can, Adal, Acie, Edi, Jag
9 via 27
The letters in the following baby names add up to 27, which reduces to nine (2+7=9).
There’s no definitive answer, unfortunately, because various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number nine. That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 9 being described as “humanitarian,” “tolerant,” “helpful,” “determined,” and “compassionate.”
We can also look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 9:
Pregnancy (9 months long)
Baseball (9 players on the field; 9 innings)
K-9 (“canine”) police dog units
“Cloud nine” (expression)
“Nine lives” of a cat (expression)
“To the nines” (expression)
“The whole nine yards” (expression)
What does the number 9 mean to you? What are your strongest associations with the number?
P.S. To see names with other numerological values, check out the posts for the numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
Which girl names increased and decreased the most in popularity from 2013 to 2014?
Below are two versions of each list. My version looks at raw number differences and takes all 19,067 girl names on the 2014 list into account. The SSA’s version looks at ranking differences and covers the top 1,000 girl names (roughly).
Biggest Increases
Raw Numbers (Nancy’s list)
Rankings (SSA’s list)
1. Olivia, +1,308 babies (18,366 to 19,674) 2. Harper, +1,296 (8,268 to 9,564) 3. Nora, +1,206 (3,502 to 4,708) 4. Ariana, +1,065 (4,396 to 5,461) 5. Evelyn, +1,045 (7,647 to 8,692) 6. Everly, +1,042 (812 to 1,854) 7. Daleyza, +976 (485 to 1,461) 8. Skylar, +957 (3,775 to 4,732) 9. Scarlett, +918 (5,047 to 5,965) 10. Paisley, +878 (3,595 to 4,473)
1. Aranza, +3,625 spots (4,232nd to 607th) 2. Montserrat, +582 (1,153rd to 571st) 3. Monserrat, +571 (1,162nd to 591st) 4. Maisie, +462 (1,120th to 658th) 5. Zendaya, +420 (1,312nd to 892nd) 6.

Here’s what the SSA says about the rise of Aranza: “The Latin soap opera “Por siempre mi amor” was aired on Univision from 2013 to 2015. The show featured a young lead character named Aranza, and obviously had its effect on naming trends last year.” (Aransa was on the 2014 debut list.)
The SSA also noted that Montserrat was the name of “the lead character in a very popular Latin soap opera” — “Lo que la vida me robó,” which aired from 2013 to 2014.

I see at least 3 pop star names (Miley, Rihanna, Britney) on the rankings side.
Finally, here are the big winners and losers from the last few years:
2013: Sadie/Daleyza (biggest increases) and Isabella/Litzy (biggest decreases)
2012: Harper/Arya (biggest increases) and Chloe/Dulce (biggest decreases)
2011: Harper (biggest increase) and Isabella (biggest decrease)
2010: Sophia (biggest increase) and Madison (biggest decrease)
According to the Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, the most popular baby names in the Australian state of Victoria in 2014 were Olivia and Oliver.
Here are Victoria’s top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2014:
Beyond the top 10…the girls’ top 100 includes both Mila (36th) and Milla (60th), plus the adorable Frankie (95th). The boys’ top 100 includes the conspicuously Scottish Angus (45th) and Hamish (69th), plus the ever-humble Lenny (100th).
“Among the big movers were Arya and Aria, which leapt 18 spots on the list of female names following the popularity of TV series Game of Thrones.”
UPDATE, Jan. 2016: The rankings have changed slightly since I posted this, so I revised them. (Alexander is now top-10 and Lachlan has been bumped down to 11th.) I didn’t bother changing the text. The 2015 rankings will be up soon.
