Numerology and baby names: Number 8

numbers

Below are hundreds of baby names with a numerological value of 8.

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 Leah have the values 12, 5, 1, and 8. Added together, these values equal 26. And the digits of 26 added together equal 8.

All of the “8” 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 “8” names per gender (according to the most recent set of U.S. baby name rankings).

Number 8: Meaning and Associations

What does the number eight mean in numerology? Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer. Various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number eight.

That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 8 being described as “successful,” “ambitious,” “organized,” “practical,” and “authoritative.”

Personally, I prefer to look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 8:

  • Octopus
  • 8-bit computing
  • 8-track cartridge
  • Eight-ball (pool)
    • Magic 8 Ball (fortune-telling toy)
  • Figure 8
    • Infinity symbol
    • Analemma (diagram showing the position of the sun over the course of a year)
    • Figure-eight knot
  • Eight-ender (perfect score in the sport of curling)

What does the number 8 mean to you? What are your strongest associations with the number?

Where did the baby name Nokomis come from in the 1910s?

The characters Nokomis, Suzette, and Suzette's mother from the silent film "Witchcraft" (1916).
Nokomis (standing) from “Witchcraft“

The unusual name Nokomis debuted in the U.S. baby name data way back in 1916:

  • 1918: unlisted
  • 1917: 6 baby girls named Nokomis
  • 1916: 5 baby girls named Nokomis [debut]
  • 1915: unlisted
  • 1914: unlisted

Why?

My guess is the silent film Witchcraft, which was released in October of 1916.

The film, set in colonial New England, had as a supporting character a Native American woman named Nokomis (played by actress Lillian Leighton).

(The movie’s main character, a young Huguenot woman named Suzette, seems to have given a boost to the name Suzette in 1916 as well.)

Nokomis’ name was probably borrowed from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Song of Hiawatha (1855). In the epic poem, Nokomis — who fell to earth from the full moon — was the grandmother of the fictional Ojibwe hero Hiawatha.

The name Nokomis is based on the Ojibwe word nookomis, which means “my grandmother.”

What are your thoughts on the name Nokomis?

Baby name needed: Formal name for nickname Susie

light bulbs

A reader named Kristina writes:

My husband insists on naming our daughter after his mother. He doesn’t necessarily want to name her Susan, her full name, but insists on calling her Susie. I have been trying to come up with names containing the word Sue in them not necessarily at the beginning, but more so in the middle or end of the name.

Hm. This is a tricky one.

Here are some names that include a “su” element:

  • Atsuko, Etsuko, Kasumi, Mitsuko, Sumiko, Suzu, Suzume, Yasu, and other Japanese names. Though these probably won’t make sense unless the baby has some sort of connection to Japan.
  • Sumana, Sumati, Sunita, Suniti, Sushila, Sunila, Suparna, Supriti, and other Indian names. But the connection thing applies for these as well (and to the group below).
  • Consuelo, Asunción, Jesusa, and perhaps a few other Spanish and/or religious names.
  • Ursula seems to be the only traditional “English” name that fits the bill, but the nickname Sula is more natural-sounding for Ursula than Susie. Also, there’s that unshakable (and unfortunate) sea-witch association.
  • Sunny, Sunshine, Sunday, and Summer are word-names that could work, though they seem like a stretch because the vowel-sounds don’t match up.

So, as you can see, I had a pretty tough time coming up with suitable “su” names.

Of course, I’m avoiding the obvious — the many Susan-related names (e.g. Susanna, Suzette, Suellen) out there. It seems Kristina wants to avoid “Susan” specifically, but maybe some other name from this family would work?

Another idea would be get a bit abstract about the nicknaming. For instance, Alexandra, Alessandra and Anastasia include S- and Z-sounds…instead of the typical nicknames like Alex and Ana, what about Susie for these?

What other ideas would you offer to Kristina?
