At the heart of Netflix's "Stranger Things" is a girl with a "011" tattoo on her wrist. Her name is Jane, but she is almost always called Eleven.

Though unusual, it's not out of the question for parents to give their children "number names."

虽然听起来有些特别，但父母给孩子起“数字名字”并非完全不可想象。

Celebrities have also used numbers as names. For example, Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian Barker welcomed a baby in 2023 and named him Rocky Thirteen Barker.

事实上，一些名人也曾用数字为孩子取名。比如，特拉维斯·巴克（Travis Barker）和考特尼·卡戴珊·巴克（Kourtney Kardashian Barker）在 2023 年迎来新生儿，并给孩子取名为Rocky Thirteen Barker（洛奇·十三·巴克）。

"Counting numbers" aren't generally used as names, says baby name expert Laura Wattenberg. In fact, she would group the name Sixx as a rock and roll name — like Axl, Hendrix, Crue and Zeppelin — rather than a number name.

不过，起名专家劳拉·沃滕伯格（Laura Wattenberg）表示，“计数型数字”通常并不会被直接当作名字使用。在她看来，像Sixx这样的名字，更应被归类为摇滚风格的名字——类似Axl、Hendrix、Crue、Zeppelin，而不是严格意义上的“数字名”。

One number stands out as being the most popular number name in America. In fact, 337 babies were given this name last year ... and it also has roots in a science-fiction television show.

在美国，有一个数字名字尤为突出，堪称最受欢迎。去年，共有337 名婴儿使用了这个名字，而且它同样源自一部科幻电视剧。

The most-used number name in America is Seven.

这个在美国使用频率最高的数字名字是Seven。

Wattenberg says the name began rising in popularity in the 1990s when the character Seven of Nine appeared on "Star Trek: Voyager." She says, "It was the perfect intersection of celebrity and style, with the popular 'V' sound and 'N' ending — a creative take on names like Evan and Devin."

沃滕伯格指出，这个名字在 20 世纪 90 年代开始走红，正是因为《星际迷航：航海家号》中出现了角色Seven of Nine。她表示：“这是名人影响力与审美潮流的一次完美交汇，这个名字既有当时流行的V 音，又以N 音结尾，是对Evan、Devin这类名字的一种富有创意的变体。”
