October 9th of this year will mark the anniversary of the death of guerrilla leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara, who was executed in 1967. He was born in Argentina and died in Bolivia, but most associate him with Cuba due to his involvement in the Cuban Revolution (1953-1959).
The year after he died, the baby name Che appeared for the first time in the U.S. baby name data. The name saw peak usage in the early-to-mid ’70s, following the release of the 1969 film Che!, which starred Omar Sharif. Usage was highest in California.
1972: 79 baby boys named Che [rank: 902nd]
1971: 86 baby boys named Che [rank: 877th]
1970: 92 baby boys named Che [rank: 839th]
1969: 56 baby boys named Che
1968: 19 baby boys named Che [debut]
1967: unlisted
1966: unlisted
The name also started seeing female usage around this time, debuting in the girls’ data in 1969.
So how did Guevara, who was named Ernesto after his father, acquire the nickname “Che”? From his overuse of the interjection che (“hey!”) while he was living in Guatemala City (1953-1954).
Finally, here’s one more Che-related baby name: Aleida, which more than doubled in usage in 1960, the year after Che married his second wife, Aleida March.
Below are hundreds of baby names with a numerological value of 6.
What do I mean by that?
Well, in numerology, you substitute each letter in a word with that letter’s ordinal value in the alphabet. (The letter B has a value of 2, for instance, because it’s the second letter.) Then you add those ordinal values together to come up with a total. Lastly, you add the digits of that total together to obtain a numerological value.
Here’s an example: The letters in the name Ian have the values 9, 1, and 14. Added together, these values equal 24. And the digits of 24 added together equal 6.
All of the “6” names below are sub-categorized by totals — just in case any of those larger numbers are significant to anyone. Within each group you’ll find some of the most popular “6” names per gender (according to the most recent set of U.S. baby name rankings).

What does the number six mean in numerology? Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer. Various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number six.
That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 6 being described as “harmonious,” “loving,” “stable,” “compassionate,” and “responsible.”
Personally, I prefer to look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 6:
Beehive (six-sided cells)
Snowflake (six-fold symmetry)
Guitar (6 strings)
Football (6 points for a touchdown)
Ice hockey (6 players per side, including the goalie)
Cube (six faces)
Six degrees of separation (the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from one other)
What does the number 6 mean to you? What are your strongest associations with the number?

A baby boy born in Turkey in 2011 was named Ernesto Cheguevara Turgut after Argentine revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
Why?
The baby’s unemployed 25-year-old father said he had read all the books pertaining to the revolutionary and added that because he had found inspiration in the leader’s struggle, he promised to name his first son after him.
Even better? This family lives in an eastern province of Turkey called Batman.
