The Powerhouse

8 is the number of money and power. It looks like two circles on top of each other, always going around. A name that adds up to 8 carries strong, big energy, and what you give out tends to come back to you.

When your name adds up to 8

You dream big. You might have been the kid with a lemonade stand or a little business before anyone else even thought about money. You like to know how money works and how to make more of it. When you want something, you focus on it until you get it. You do well being in charge and making big decisions. Life can have ups and downs for you, like waves, but each time you learn something and come back stronger. Being fair and honest helps you a lot. You may also have a great eye for art and beautiful things.

B2

First letter · first impression

Comes across warm

B is the 2nd letter, so it carries the 2.

People feel your warmth first. You seem easy to talk to, like someone who would never laugh at them, and strangers often tell you things on the very first day. You come across as kind, calm and a great listener. You can tell how people feel without them saying it, and you know how to make a tense room feel peaceful again. In a group, you are the one who makes the new kid feel welcome. This first impression makes people feel safe with you, so they open up fast.

Driven to explore

E is the 5th letter, so it carries the 5. It’s the first vowel, so the 5 lives at the heart of your name.

Deep down, you need freedom. You want to try new things, go new places and have new adventures. Doing the same thing every day makes you feel stuck, and you start to get restless. A new trip, a new hobby or a new friend makes you feel alive again. You like to keep your options open and you like surprises. Your heart is curious about everything. The best life for you has lots of change in it, where you never know exactly what tomorrow will bring.

The method

How CUE reads a name

The four steps, from your letters to your number

  1. Your name number

    Every letter takes its place in the alphabet, from A = 1 to Z = 26, and is reduced to a single number. Add them up and reduce again. CUE keeps the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 whole, and a name that adds up to 20 is a hidden 11.

  2. Your first letter

    The first energy people meet, before they really know you: your first impression (some calculators call it the cornerstone). K and V are master letters, 11 and 22.

  3. Your first vowel

    The energy inside: what drives you. A first vowel can only be one of five numbers: A is 1, E is 5, I is 9, O is 6 and U is 3.

  4. Letter and vowel together

    How you come across meets what drives you. An L (3) with an A (1) is great at starting conversations and new projects, with ambition spread across many fields.

Name numerology questions

What is name numerology?

Name numerology turns the letters of a name into numbers and adds them up. Each letter takes its place in the alphabet, so A is 1 and Z is 26. CUE calls this Letterology, and it works for any name or word.

What is my name number?

Type your first name into the calculator above. Every letter turns into its number, the numbers add up, and the total reduces to one number from 1 to 9, or a master number: 11, 22 or 33. That is your name number.

How do I calculate my name number?

Give every letter its number (A = 1, B = 2 … Z = 26), reduce each one to a single digit, add them up and reduce the total again. CUE keeps the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 whole, so K stays 11 and V stays 22. Emma is 5 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 14, and 1 + 4 = 5.

Is my name number the same as an expression or destiny number?

Close. Other calculators call the total of a full name its expression or destiny number. CUE calls it your name number, keeps the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 whole, and counts a total of 20 as a hidden 11.

What are master numbers in a name?

Master numbers are 11, 22 and 33. CUE keeps them whole instead of reducing them further, because they carry more energy: 11 is the old soul, 22 the master builder and 33 the master teacher. A name that adds up to 20 is a hidden 11.

What does a master number name mean?

A name that adds up to 11 carries the old soul: big feelings, strong gut feelings and a sense of being here for something special. 22 is the master builder, turning big dreams into real things. 33, the rarest, is the master teacher, made to reach people.

5 more questions

Why does my name add up differently on other sites?

CUE’s Letterology follows the same A to Z order as the Pythagorean chart, but keeps K (11) and V (22) as master letters, keeps 11, 22 and 33 whole, and counts a name that adds up to 20 as a hidden 11. A calculator that reduces all of these to single digits can give the same name a different number.

Can I change my name number?

Your name number changes with the spelling. Emma adds up to 5 and Ema to 1; Jon adds up to 3 and John to 11. Nicknames carry their own numbers too. Try each version: in CUE you can save every name and compare them.

Is this the same as gematria?

Gematria is the practice of reading words as numbers. Letterology is CUE’s version for English: every letter of the alphabet has its number, and any word or name adds up to one. Switch to Any word, or open CUE’s gematria calculator, to decode a word or phrase.

Should I use my full name or my nickname?

Try both. The name you were given and the name you go by each carry their own number. In CUE you can save every name and compare them side by side.

Can two names have the same number?

Yes. Many names and words add up to the same number. CUE’s Letterology dictionary lists the words that share each number, so you can see what your name lines up with.
