Numerology and baby names: Number 6

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).

Number 6: Meaning and Associations

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)

Baby names from classic arcade games?

Potential baby names may be hiding in the titles of classic arcade games of the ’80s and early ’90s. No, I’m not talking Q*Bert or Pac-Man. But how about Azurian, Zaviga, or Cadash?

Below are a bunch of possibilities, most not even as daring as Dovahkiin, Tali’Zorah, or Sephiroth. Three of them — Kage, Raiden, and Truxton — have already popped up in the SSA data. (And if you’re in the mood to play, click through to check out playable versions of the games hosted by the Internet Archive!)

Amidar (1981)
- “Amidar” is based on Amidakuji (the name of a Japanese game) which is based on Amida (the name of a figure in East Asian Buddhism).
Bosconian (1981)
Zarzon (1981)
Azurian, from Azurian Attack (1982)
Zaxxon (1982)
Zektor (1982)
Cavelon (1983)
Ixion (1983)
Regulus (1983)
Xevious, from Super Xevious (1983)
Zaviga (1984)
Kage (“kah-gay”), from Legend of Kage (1985)
Rygar (1986)
Gryzor (1987)
Sauro (1987)
Ordyne (1988)
Syvalion (1988)

Xenon (1988)
Cadash (1989)
Dyger (1989)
Sagaia (1989)
Tonma, from Legend of Hero Tonma (1989)
- “Tonma” is translated to “Tommy” within the game, interestingly.
Xyonix (1989)
Aurail (1990)
Raiden (1990)
- “Raiden” was used again a couple of years later in the original Mortal Kombat.
Trigon (1990)
Solvalou (1991), one of several Xevious sequels
Vimana (1991)
- “Vimana” is a Sanskrit word that refers to a flying palace or chariot in Hindu mythology.

I half-expect to see Zaxxon on the charts soon, now that Jaxon and Jaxxon are trendy and variants like Maxxon and Daxxon have emerged.
