If you’re on the hunt for baby names with a numerological value of 2, you’re in luck! Because today’s post features hundreds of 2-names.
Before we get to the names, though — how do we know that they’re “twos” 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 Aurora correspond to the numbers 1, 21, 18, 15, 18, and 1. The sum of these numbers is 74. The digits of 74 added together equal 11, and the digits of 11 added together equal 2 — the numerological value of Aurora.
Baby names with a value of 2
Below you’ll find the most popular 2-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.
2 via 11
The letters in the following baby names add up to 11, which reduces to two (1+1=2).
Girl names (2 via 11)
Boy names (2 via 11)
Adea, Fe, Aia
Aj, Ja, Cabe
2 via 20
The letters in the following baby names add up to 20, which reduces to two (2+0=2).
There’s no definitive answer, unfortunately, because various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number two. That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 2 being described as “diplomatic,” “cooperative,” “peaceful,” “gentle,” and “understanding.”
We can also look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 2:
Hands
Feet
Eyes
Ears
Lungs
Chopsticks
Knitting needles
Complementary pairings (e.g., pen and paper, bow and arrow, peanut butter and jelly)
Dualities (e.g., day and night, yin and yang, war and peace)
Boxing (2 competitors; 2 fists)
Partner dancing
DNA double helix
What does the number 2 mean to you? What are your strongest associations with the number?

The rare name Vandella bounced in and out of the U.S. baby name data throughout the 20th century. It’s longest stint in the data occurred in the mid-1960s:
1969: unlisted
1968: unlisted
1967: 9 baby girls named Vandella
1966: 6 baby girls named Vandella
1965: 5 baby girls named Vandella
1964: 6 baby girls named Vandella
1963: unlisted
1962: unlisted
Why?
Because of the influence of Martha and the Vandellas.
The popular Motown act was made up of a trio of female vocalists: Martha Reeves, Rosalind Ashford, and Annette Beard.
They put out dozens of singles from the early 1960s to the early 1970s. Their biggest hit, “Dancing in the Street” (1964), peaked at #2 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. Five of their other songs — including “Nowhere to Run” (1965), and Grammy-nominated “Heat Wave” (1963) — also reached the top 10.
So how did the group get its name?
According to Rosalind Ashford, Berry Gordy — the founder of Motown Records — asked the women to come up with a new name for themselves before he signed them to Motown’s Gordy imprint in 1962. (Previously, they had gone by “The Del-Phis” and “The Vels.”)
We were in one little room. So he said, “I’m going to give you a half an hour to come up with a name. If you can’t come up with a name, whatever I think of or whatever it is, that’s what it’s going to be.” We did not come up with a name, so the next thing we know, he called down, he said, “I’ve got a name for your group and it’s going to be Vandellas,” pure and simple.
