Lily: name numerology
Enter a name and a date of birth — the same engine that produced this page does the arithmetic.
Work out your own name
The same name, counted four different ways — and only the fourth touches your date.
All four arrive as one document. Each chapter says first what that number describes for anybody, and only then reads the one your letters produced; the same file comes to your email as a PDF made for printing.
This page counts one spelling of one name. The document says what that costs the method — spell the name another way and the numbers move with it — and it says so in the first chapter, not in a footnote at the end.

The number costs nothing and asks for no address. The written reading is free as well — it asks for an email, because that is where the document is sent.
The calculation is free and needs no account. For entertainment and self-development only — not advice.
Lily totals 22 across four letters and folds to an Expression of 4. The doubled L gives a Personality of 6, and I with Y — Y being a vowel for this figure — reaches 11 in the cipher for a Soul Urge of 2.

The flower and the queen at once
Lily has two lines behind it that never fully separated. One is the flower, Latin lilium, taken up in the Victorian wave of botanical names alongside Rose and Violet. The other is Lilly or Lillie, an old English pet form of Elizabeth that predates the flower fashion by centuries. Registrars cannot tell them apart and neither can the spelling. It is the second commonest girls name in England and Wales and eighteenth in the United States.
Four letters, two of them the same, two of them heavy
L is 3, I is 9, the second L is 3 and Y is 7. Twenty-two is a large total for four letters, and the reason is that I and Y are both in the upper half of the table — 16 of the 22 between them. Twenty-two folds through 4. The two L letters are the whole consonant column at 6. On the vowel side Y counts as a vowel worth 5 in the cipher and I is 6 there rather than 9, so the pair make eleven and a 2.
Is Lilly with two L letters different?
Yes. A third L adds three to the total and three to the consonant column, so the Expression and the Personality both move.
Why is Y in the vowel half?
The English soul cipher counts Y as a vowel and prices it at 5, while the table above treats it as an ordinary letter worth 7.
Does Lilia or Lilian match this?
Neither does. Both are longer strings with an extra vowel, so the totals rise and all three figures move with them.
