In a type of numerological divination, a student of the field will use the name and birthdate of an individual to analyze and define something of the personality and propensities of that individual. Specific numbers are also assigned to the letters of the alphabet. Pythagorean numerological system (for the English alphabet) is represented here: A, J, S=1 B, K, T=2 C, L, U=3 D, M, V=4 E, N, W=5 F, O, X=6 G, P, Y=7 H, Q, Z=8 I, R=9
There is no scientific verification for the validity of claimed numerological principles.
Historians believe that modern numerology is an integration of the teachings from Ancient Babylonia, Pythagoras and his followers, (6 th. Century B.C. Greece) Astrological philosophy from Hellenistic Alexandria, early Christian mysticism, the occultism of the early Gnostics and the Hebrew system of the Kabbalah. The Indian Vedas, the Chinese "Circle of the Dead",and the Egyptian "Book of the Master of the Secret House", (Ritual of the Dead) are records giving strong evidence that Numerology dates back thousands of years.
Pythagoras and other philosophers of the time believed that because mathematical concepts were more "practical" (easier to regulate and classify) than physical ones, they had greater actuality. This is an idea in harmony with philosophical pragmatism and a choice for permanent concepts over changeable physicality.
St. Augustine of Hippo in A.D. 354 - 430 wrote " Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth." Similar to Pythagoras, he too believed that everything had numerical relationships and it was up to the mind to seek and investigate the secrets of these relationships or have them revealed by divine grace.
In 325 A.D., following the First Council of Nicaea, departures from the beliefs of the state Church were classified as civil violations within the Roman Empire. Numerology had not found favor with the Christian authority of the day. It was assigned to the field of unapproved beliefs along with astrology and other forms of divination and "magic." Through this religious purging, the spiritual significance assigned to the heretofore "sacred" numbers began to disappear. In spite of this suppression there were still many devout believers, who kept the secret knowledge locked away.
An example of the influence of numerology in English literature is Sir Thomas Browne's 1658 Discourse The Garden of Cyrus. In it the author illustrates that the number five and related Quincunx pattern throughout art, nature and mysticism. The Discourse is a late example of the influence of Pythagorean thought in English philosophy.

1. Individual. Individual motivation, individual activity. Need to be alone, to make one's own decisions. Aggressor (positive enforcer as opposed to negative receptive). Yang. The one who takes charge, who manages.
2. Balance. Union. Receptive. Yin. Ability to cooperate, or work with others. Hidden influences at work. The subconscious.

[edit] Chinese numerology
Main article: Numbers in Chinese culture
The chinese assign a different set of meanings to the numbers and certain number combinations are considered luckier then others. In countries with a large chinese speaking population, lucky number combinations are much sought after for use in both business and personal life. In general, even numbers are considered lucky since it is believed that good luck comes in pairs.
[edit] Chinese number definitions
1 - 一
2 - 二 easy
3 - 三 live
4 - 四 - considered unlucky since 4 in chinese (sì} sounds like the chinese word for death (死). NOT ALL CHINESE REGARD THE NUMBER 4 AS "DIE" The interpretation for Number 4 in Chinese numerology article here does not necessarily mean "die" to all Chinese. Chinese Teochew regard it as "Hee" meaning "Good News" and "Happiness" and so it is an auspicious number to them. Only the Chinese Cantonese regard the number 4 as "die". And so it is very subjective for each particular Chinese dialect group.

5 - 五 - the self, me, myself, nothing
6 - 六 - easy and smooth
7 - 七 - together
8 - 八 - sudden fortune, prosperity
9 - 九 - long in time
Some lucky number combinations include:
168 - road of prosperity or to be prosperous together - many charged telephone service numbers in China begin with this number. Many businesses also prefer to have this number as part of their names.
518 - I will prosper, other variations include: 5189 (I will prosper for a long time), 516289 (I will get on a long, smooth prosperous road) and 5918 (I will soon prosper)
888 - prosperity x3.

[edit] "Numerology" in science
Scientific theories are sometimes labelled 'numerology' if their primary inspiration appears to be mathematical rather than scientific. This colloquial use of the word 'numerology' is quite common within the scientific community and it is mostly used to dismiss a theory as questionable science. [citation needed]
The best known example of 'numerology' in science involves the co-incidental resemblance of certain large numbers that intrigued such eminent mathematical physicists as Dirac, Weyl and Eddington. These numerical co-incidences refer to such quantities as the ratio of the age of the universe to the atomic unit of time, the number of electrons in the universe, and the difference in strengths between gravity and the electric force for the electron and proton. As one author has observed however, we are bound to find co-incidences if we look long enough at any sample of numbers and therefore the kind of study that Dirac, Weyl and Eddington pursued 'seems like numerology' to many physicists ('Is the Universe Fine Tuned for Us?', Stenger V.J., page 3[1]).
Large number co-incidences still continue to fascinate many mathematical physicists even at the risk of being labelled 'numerologists'. Thus, for instance, James G. Gilson has constructed a 'Quantum Theory of Gravity' based loosely on Dirac's large number hypothesis [2].
get a book on numerology and see various combinations attaching your family name with selected first names, so that you get the best name.
hope thats helpful. or you can look at any website on baby names!! congratulations on the new arrival!!!
