6

Which name counts changes this total, and the books do not agree. Walton in 1914 and Taylor in 1926 use the name given at birth, Balliett in 1905 takes the baptismal name with the mother's name before marriage also in view, Clement in 1908 starts beginners on the given name alone, and Coffman in 1927 uses the name as naturally written. A married name or a nickname can move the result away from 6.

Balliett calls the people of 6 finishers, cheerful workers busy with the last stages of a task and with setting things in order for others to use. Walton in 1914 makes it a peace-loving number of wider scope that touches art and philanthropy. Cheasley in 1916 fills his entry with home, friendship, hospitality and responsibility for others.

Modern popular readings build on that domestic list and describe an Expression of 6 as ability in caring, teaching and making things work for a group. Taylor's note on the letters F, O and X names teachers and benefactors among them. Walton's comparison to 2 is worth keeping in view, because he treats 6 as the broader of the two.
