Dad: Your name means F***ing Sheep, 'Coz I knew you were gonna be a F***ing Sheep Me: Now I can rest. Jk lol, Una's a gorgeous name, and I am not called Una
The Roman number names are interesting, because like Cicero's praenomen was Marcus, after his father, which was common, but his brother, and only sibling as far as I know, was called Quintus. There's also the names of the months, like September, October, November and December, which mean 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th, respectively. Originally the Roman calendar had 10 months of 355 days, and then there was a period in the winter called Intercalarius, and the length of this period was determined each year by priests. Later, January and February were originally added at the end of the year, and the first of March was the new year. Also July and August were originally called Quinctilis and Sextilis, and the names were later changed in honour of Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus. As an additional name fact, Caesar went from the name of a man to the title of an emperor, and gave rise to the title of Kaiser in Austria and Czar in Russia.
There’s a deep cut Charlie Brown comic with a character named “555 95472” who has two sisters named “3” and “4” The joke was that their dad was paranoid that people were loosing their identities because of all the different numbers that people were having assigned to them by the government so he changed his family’s names into numbers out of resignation to the system or something. I don’t really get the joke to be honest; there’s a reason that it’s not one of the more we’ll known Peanuts arcs. Fun fact, though: 555 is the spikey haired dude doing the straight arm dance in the Christmas special and the two twin girls in the same scene are 3 and 4
That's what I thought of when I saw this video title! IIRC, the story/characters came about because of ZIP codes being introduced, so at the time those strips were published, it was a lot more topical.
"Seven." "Seven Costanza... You're serious?" "Yeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy or a girl. Especially a girl... Or a boy." "I don't think so." "What, you don't like the name?" "It's not a name. It's a number." "I know. It's Mickey Mantle's number. So not only is it an all-around beautiful name, it is also a living tribute."
Have anyone here heard of Tim Burton's & Shane Acker's "9" (2009)? It is a CGI animated film about nine rag-dolls called "Stitchpunks" and they have names that are literally just one number. 1 is a cowardly leader. 2 is a silly inventor grandpa. 3 & 4 are mute smart twins. 5 is a loyal friendly helper. 6 is a crazy guy that acts as an oracle. 7 is a rebellious girl (only female in this group which is weird not because sexism or feminism but the lore of the film because all these rag-dolls should be male). 8 is a touth muscular man that secretly is very silly also is 1's bodyguard. 9 is the POV character that is very inquisitive. This film is underrated but it is rated PG-13 for Americans or 12 for Brits so yeah this is a scary film very Tim Burton. Edit: Also 7 & 9 have a romance so "7 ate 9". Haha.
ayyy I fucking love that movie so much!! I wanted to watch it when i was little but never did. I just watched it the first time a few years ago and its deep as hell. I always forget the name of it though when i go to watch it or show someone and i have to go on a 15 minute google hunt. lol
@@Pining_for_the_fjords Tim Burton only produced (even looking behinds the scenes I don't buy him producing) & market the film. The film have his name the largest in the marketing. This film doesn't actually belong to him but to Shane Acker. "9" (2009) is based on Shane Acker's University short film "9" (2005) which was nominated for best animated short in 2005/2006 Oscars. This film is Shane Acker's big screen debut but his name was smaller with Tim Burton's name bigger because he is more well known and Tim Burton came up with the idea to turn his short into a feature but Tim Burton did nothing but market and allegedly produce.
I did some research in Japanese for the origins of the 四万十川(shimantogawa) and I found 4 theories on how the name came to be 1. It comes from the fact that the river could transport up to 40,000(this is where 四万 comes from) kokus of wood 10 times(this is where 十 comes from) when using the river for timber rafting. A koku(石) is a traditional Japanese unit of measurement btw and it's approximately 0.278 cubic meters according to a Japanese dictionary. 2. It's a combination of the names 四万川村(shimagawamura, a village that used to exist in the upper stream of the river) and 十川村(tookawamura, a village that used to exist near the midstream of the river) and they came together to become 四万十川(shimantogawa)。 3. It comes from the Ainu word シマト(shimato) meaning "a place with a lot of gravel(砂礫の多い所)." 4. It has a lot of tributaries and 40,010 seemed like a pretty big number. no one knows where it exactly came from tho :/ hope this helps
there's a town in Queensland Australia called 1770 but it has to be written out as Seventeen Seventy officially because Queensland requires that numbers in place names are written out in word form.
Be happy that they allow that. For the same reason they could demand that it had to be written as One thousand seven hundred and seventy. Just to be pedantic.
84 lumber There is a town in Pennsylvania called "84". It got its name from a coal mining patch, mining companies would build little towns and villages around each mine. This town was the 84th patch and, it they never gave it a name. Also this town was where 84 lumber was founded.
All around my native city of Cagliari, Sardinia (IT) are a whole bunch of towns named after sardinian or italian cardinals: Quartu, Sestu, Settimo and Decimo. The theory goes that they were just settlements named after how far they were from the main city, as measured in roman miles.
In Michigan, there’s a fairly large city called “Novi” which is literally just “No. VI” but pronounced as letters. It was likely called this because it was the 6th stage coach stop from Detroit, though other conflicting accounts exist.
On the topic of the name "Quentin" being like "Quint", there is actually a character in Mega Man called Quint. Not to mention, most Robot Masters in the Classic saga of Mega Man also have numbered codenames. For example, Mega Man is DLN-001, and his older brother and prototype Proto Man is DLN-000.
Also relating to railways and numbered names, nearby to where I live there's both a place called 100 Bucks Point (most likely related to old railway fare zones), and another very imaginative one called "Stop 40". No, not 40th Stop, but Stop 40.
I've heard of numbers (spelled out however) as first names, last names, or part of names I've heard of a guy called Zero, I've heard of Zero (two origins here: one from the Greek word xero, meaning dry, the other from the number), Six (the only origin I could find was from the number) and Ten (the only person I've heard of with this name was from Kazakhstan, so it probably has nothing to do with the number 10) as last names, Twomey and Twohig are somewhat popular last names in Ireland that have the number two in them (there was no W in the original Irish, e.g. Twomey = Ó Tuama, so I would assume that spelling was influenced by the number two, there are also variant spellings without the W like Toomey), I've also heard of Fives as a last name in Ireland (the Irish is Ó Cúige, and cúig is the Irish word for the number 5. I'm not sure where this name originated, or what it has to do with the number 5 if anything). And of course, names with foreign numbers, like Einstein (which would be Onestone if translated literally into English), Quattrocchi (which is Italian for "four eyes", given to someone whose sight was so good it's as if they had 4 eyes instead of 2), Quartermain (from the French "quatre main" (four hands), likely a similar reasoning to Quattrocchi, but related to strength or dexterity instead of vision). There is even a street in Cork called 98 Street (might be named after a year, like 1898 or 1798, there might have been a significant event that happened then)
@@Elegia-rh2uh That is exactly it, thanks! I Googled it and it said the Irish Rebellion of 1798, which I assume is the same thing. Link is here: www.yaycork.ie/heres-the-reason-this-cork-street-is-named-after-a-number/
Japanese names, especially male ones, contain numbers! Hajime (literally "beginning") is often written as "一" ("one"). Any male name with "ichi" in it is most likely also "一" (one) signifying that they are the first son. Sometimes it is also pronounced "kazu" (literally "number"), a male name with "kazu" is like 50% chance to mean "one". For second sons you sometimes find "二" ("two") most often pronounced "ji", but more often "次" meaning "next". 仁 "hitoshi" or "jin" (literally meaning "benevolence") is sometimes used because it contains "二" for "two". In anime you will find girls named "Futaba", this is "二葉" ("two leaves") or "双葉" ("double leaves"). For three, you have the name Misaki which is either a family name or a girl's name, where the "mi" is sometimes written as "三" ("three"). During the first half of the 1900's a lot of boys got number names, and for three it is "(-)Saburou". I could go on, but there are so many names, so I'll leave it here if not anyone wants to know more.
A couple I can think of are primarily in Darling in the Franxx, as most of the Franxx pilots are nicknamed with goroawase numbers. Hiro, Zero Two, Nana, Goro, Ichigo, Naomi are good examples. Kazoku Uchouten also uses this with all the male members of the main character's family. The eldest is Yaichiro, the second oldest is Yajiro, the main character is Yasaburo, and the youngest is Yashiro. All of their names are a combination of 矢 meaning "arrow" and their number of which son they are.
Mines two quintillion, nine hundred and fifty-three quadrillion, fifteen trillion, eight hundred and thirty-six billion, five hundred and twenty-eight million, five hundred and thirty-eight thousand, six hundred and twenty-four
Another interesting example of place names with numbers are the towns of 70-mile house, 93- mile house, 100-mile house, and 150-mile house in British Columbia, Canada. They’re all named for their distance from Lillooet on the Old Caribou Road, and they were home to roadhouses frequented by stagecoaches travelling to and from the Caribou Gold rush.
@Patrick: The difference between royal regnal numbers and regnal numbers when used by "ordinary" people is that, with the latter example the convention of applying a Roman numeral at the end of family member names is specific to generationally-sequential offspring (typically first-borns of first-borns of first-borns...) beginning with Sr., then Jr./II, then III, etc., but with royals that sequence can be broken by several generations spanning centuries.
If you are a guitar enthusiast, maybe you have come across Ibanez names for their guitars, they do really take this mix between numbers and letters to the limit.
'six' can be used as a verb, or a part of a verb, 'deep-six,' meaning to discard or get rid of. I've even heard it without the 'deep.' Like saying: "It's been 'sixed"
There's a town in southwestern Pennsylvania called Eighty Four. They're famous for 84 Lumber, who have lumber yards around the region. The town's name is always spelled out, but the lumber stores are all branded with the digits 84. They got that name because the town had the same name as another town and the post office would commonly get them confused.
As a programmer, the question in the title had me thinking of pointers. For non-programmers, a quick crash-course. Programs work on pieces of data. Those pieces of data are put into memory locations. The contents of one memory location can be used to point to another memory location, hence the name "pointer". As the contents of every memory location is just a number, a pointer is a case of using a number as a name for a memory location. And yes, you can have pointers to other pointers, and yes, you can repeat it recursively if needed.
1:53 Numbers can be verbs in some languages - in Polish there is for example ''dwoić'' (verb form of 'dwa' [two]) which literally means ''to become two'' or ''to multiply something by two''. It is only used for numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 even though technically it works for any number.
in Indonesia and Malaysia some traditional families used to name their children according to the day they were born, which in the local language were just borrowed from Arabic, in which the days of the week were just the ordinal numbers. Mayan naming traditions had something similar
There's a province in Northeast Thailand named Roi Et which means "One-Hundred One". The reason it has this name is that in ancient times it had eleven gates. Eleven used to be written numerically as ten-one, ๑๐๑ (101), which was later read as one-hundred one.
Kinda similar to how in the US there's a tri-state area, Poland has a tri-city cluster called Trójmiasto which includes the cities of Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot. It literally means tri-city.
And Kyrgyzstan too! "Kyrgyz" apparently comes from the Turkic word for "forty". A legendary hero called Manas would have united forty regional clans against the Uyghurs. It's actually why the national flag features a 40-ray sun. Patrick, I really like your channel. Can I say that I would find it even more inspiring if you would present less English-language and more non-Western-centric exemples. Thanks a million;)
Shimantou River has an unclear etymology (and was renamed to that in ‘94, having previously been 渡川(watarigawa)). Possible reasons: -It is a river where many other rivers flow into (hence an arbitrarily high number). - It comes from the Ainu shi•mamuto (very beautiful). - It being a combination of two place names at opposite sides of the river: Shimagawa and Tookawa. -Ainu word (shimato) meaning “a place with a lot of gravel” So… who knows!
There was a basketball prospect named Seventh Woods. He didn’t pan out in college. There’s also Andre 3000 and Erykah Badu’s son who is named Seven because of the Seinfeld episode
I just recently found a new favourite TV show, Doctor Who :) The Doctor is always called just the Doctor in the show itself but the different incarnations are also known by their numbers so that fans know which one is which. That's where my thoughts went when there was a person with number 11 on the screen. But not wearing a bowtie, so not cool 😉
The characters from Final Fantasy Type-0 (along with the title of the game itself) are numbers (aside from Rem Machina, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace) or involve numbers. The class itself's name is Class Zero.
7 is often thought of as a holy number along with number 3. It is found in ancient adventures (and even religious texts) that probably dates back before at least Christianity, and is appearently also found in adventures from other countries I've been told. I've also read that it comes into play in architecture (!) Maybe part of the reason is becaue people associate numbers with other things connected to those numbers in life, but I'm not quite sure. (Fore example humans can be associated with the number 2 in many ways like we have 2 ears, eyes, feet, kidneys, lungs, nostrils, etc. Cows have 4 feet, four stomachs (I think) etc.) Anywayz. In Norway we have a town called 13 due to the fact that only 13 people survived the black plague in 1349'ish.
In Brazil there's a famous case of a person called 1 2 3 (name) de Oliveira (maternal/first family name) Quatro (meaning four, paternal/second surname) On a side note: the Cuatro Torres (four towers) business area in Madrid now has 5 towers :)
A pretty well-known Japanese name, Ichiro - as in Ichiro Suzuki the baseball player - literally means 'first son' Jiro means 'second son' The prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe - is called "Shinzo" because the "Zo" at the end means 'third son'
Novi (pronounced "no-vai") is a city in Michigan named for the number 6 , or No. VI. The number 6 of -what-, though, appears to be unknown. Funnily enough, it actually used to have a more traditional name of Farmington, but they didn't like it.
I was very happy to see this video as last year my university flatmate had a complete meltdown as to how to correctly reference a paper written my someone with the first name “4” - our minds were so blown that it was an allowed name!
"The cardinal number after six" is the perfect way to describe seven, especially if you look at natural numbers from the perspective of Peano's axioms.
Three men were waiting in the maternity ward while their wives were giving birth. A nurse arrives and says to the first man, "Congratulations you are the father of twins". The man said, "Wow what a coincidence,. I'm from Twin Falls". Another nurse arrives and says to the second man, "Congratulations you are the father of triplets". The man said, "Wow what a coincidence,. I'm from Trois Rivieres". Suddenly the third man collapses. As the orderlies get a wheel chair, one of them asks, "Did anyone see what happened?" The first man replies, "I think he mentioned something abut being from the Thousand Islands".
Numbers can also be the names of songs - occasionally. John Farnham had a song called "One" (the only half-decent song from his early career), Nightwish has an album call Once. I'm sure there would be many others.
I found several higher regnal numbers, than XXIII. The highest I found was from Heinrich LXXIV. Reuß zu Köstritz. That would make him the 74th. He was the son of Prince Heinrich XLIV. Reuß zu Köstritz. With a jump from 44 to 74. Then there was Heinrich XLV, Hereditary Prince Reuss Younger Line - so the 45th. He was son of Heinrich XXVII, Prince Reuss Younger Line. Again, a jump from 28 (still higher than the pope) to 45. And there was Heinrich XXVII, Prince Reuss Younger Line - so the 27th (still higher than the pope). He was son of Heinrich XIV, Prince Reuss Younger Line, grandson of Heinrich LXVII, Prince Reuss Younger Line. So three jumps in three generation from 47 to 14 to 27. This is due to their naming convention of naming all male member "Heinrich", and then counting in order of birth of all members of the family. So if two brothers had two sons each, and they were born one year apart with the two sons of brother one being the older and the youngest of the four and the other two brothers in the middle: Son1 of Brother1: Henry I Son1 of Brother2: Henry II Son2 of Brother2: Henry III Son2 of Brother1: Henry IV And if Henry II had a son, this would be Henry V - and so on. At the extreme, this would count up to 100/C (Henry C) and then start from 1 again. Another cut was at the turn of the century. Both of which explain both the high numbers and the jumps. And once he became the ruler, he kept the number he was "given at birth". See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_County_of_Reuss I don't know if there is any ruler with a higher regnal number, but I assume that there is no "Whoerver" the 75th or higher - except maybe within the House of Reuss.
In countries that use Chinese characters, numbers are used in names all the time. The name Hifumi in japanese is literally written "123" 「一二三」, or Kazuki, which can mean "One Brightness" 「一輝」
in Poland we have towns with First (Pierwszy) or Second (Drugi) like: Kostomłoty Pierwsze i Drugie - Bonethresh First and Second Masłów Pierwszy i Drugi - hard to translate, name derived from Masław, "fame of deceit"
Other way around on Six Flags lol the corporation was named after their first amusement park. The company was originally called The Great Southwest Corporation until they renamed it for the flagship property (no pun intended).
A fun tidbit about Carl XVI Gustaf is that he is not actually the 16th king of Sweden named Karl/Carl. Somewhere along the line, Swedish historians made up 10 Karls/Carls to make it appear as though the country of Sweden had a longer and richer history than it actually does
In addition to all the birth order names Japanese had Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Isoroku being a slightly fancy way of saying 56, his father's age at his birth.
Fun fact: The romans often called their children numbers for names, expecially the girls. Since a girl got the feminine form of her father's nomen gentile as her name, i.e. the daughter of a Marcus Tullius would be named Tullia, if he had multiple daughters they were just numbered: Tullia Prima, Tullia Secunda, etc.
One common number as a verb is 86, specifically in the restaurant industry when a menu item is unavailable. If the kitchen runs out of fries, for example, they'll tell the front of the house to '86 fries!' Another common usage is in reference to tossing someone out of a bar, convenience store or other business. If the bartender or manager of Circle K tells you to get out and don't come back, you got 86'd, and the manager would be the one 86ing you for being too drunk and causing trouble or whatever you did, and now you're like 50 and you've gotta ask college kids to buy you a beer with a handful of pocket lint and pennies.
There was a PEANUTS strip from probably the late 60s in which a new kid in that neighborhood claims his name is "5". That predates SEINFELD by quite a bit...but I'm not sure whether or not it predates THE PRISONER (which I was expecting to see a lot of references to)
John Dengler once petitioned courts in Minnesota, and, kater, North Dakota, to change his name to "1059." The petition was rejected in both cases as not being a recognizable name. One of the courts did not that "Juan Nyen" would probably be acceptable.
"Can you count up to ten by only using the titles of films and books? Exclude sequels if you're up for a challenge." Heck, I'll even exclude books.

Have anyone here heard of Tim Burton's & Shane Acker's "9" (2009)?
It is a CGI animated film about nine rag-dolls called "Stitchpunks" and they have names that are literally just one number.
1 is a cowardly leader.
2 is a silly inventor grandpa.
3 & 4 are mute smart twins.
5 is a loyal friendly helper.
6 is a crazy guy that acts as an oracle.
7 is a rebellious girl (only female in this group which is weird not because sexism or feminism but the lore of the film because all these rag-dolls should be male).
8 is a touth muscular man that secretly is very silly also is 1's bodyguard.
9 is the POV character that is very inquisitive.
This film is underrated but it is rated PG-13 for Americans or 12 for Brits so yeah this is a scary film very Tim Burton.

I did some research in Japanese for the origins of the 四万十川(shimantogawa) and I found 4 theories on how the name came to be
1. It comes from the fact that the river could transport up to 40,000(this is where 四万 comes from) kokus of wood 10 times(this is where 十 comes from) when using the river for timber rafting. A koku(石) is a traditional Japanese unit of measurement btw and it's approximately 0.278 cubic meters according to a Japanese dictionary.
2. It's a combination of the names 四万川村(shimagawamura, a village that used to exist in the upper stream of the river) and 十川村(tookawamura, a village that used to exist near the midstream of the river) and they came together to become 四万十川(shimantogawa)。
3. It comes from the Ainu word シマト(shimato) meaning "a place with a lot of gravel(砂礫の多い所)."
4. It has a lot of tributaries and 40,010 seemed like a pretty big number.
no one knows where it exactly came from tho :/ hope this helps

Stickler: seven eight (ate) nine is an example of numbers being used as the subject and object of a sentence. 86ed is a number being used as a verb.
there's a town in Queensland Australia called 1770 but it has to be written out as Seventeen Seventy officially because Queensland requires that numbers in place names are written out in word form.
Be happy that they allow that. For the same reason they could demand that it had to be written as One thousand seven hundred and seventy.
Just to be pedantic.
I didn't wanted to believe that Shimanto is really written with the numeral kanji in Japanese, but turns out it really is.
Indeed, and the pronounciation being that random makes me believe it is originally written differently but made "easier" later.
In the Dutch province of Zeeland is the small town by the name of Nummer Een, which literally translates to Number One.
In Finland there is a region called Satakunta, which means "about a hundred"
lolwut, even the people living there are not sure whether it _actually_ one hundread or not?

@ Same in Finnish. What a coincidence
84 lumber
There is a town in Pennsylvania called "84". It got its name from a coal mining patch, mining companies would build little towns and villages around each mine. This town was the 84th patch and, it they never gave it a name. Also this town was where 84 lumber was founded.
ohhhhh! I always kinda wondered what the 84 was about!
I can't believe Eleven from Stranger Things got brought up but not Thirteen from House
All around my native city of Cagliari, Sardinia (IT) are a whole bunch of towns named after sardinian or italian cardinals: Quartu, Sestu, Settimo and Decimo. The theory goes that they were just settlements named after how far they were from the main city, as measured in roman miles.
I thought only clones and robot's have that in their names
And Roman women
Random User Roman men also, at least among the Patrician class. The first true Emperor, Augustus, was originally named Octavianus, for 8th child.
And the Borg (remember Seven of Nine?)
In Michigan, there’s a fairly large city called “Novi” which is literally just “No. VI” but pronounced as letters. It was likely called this because it was the 6th stage coach stop from Detroit, though other conflicting accounts exist.
On the topic of the name "Quentin" being like "Quint", there is actually a character in Mega Man called Quint.
Not to mention, most Robot Masters in the Classic saga of Mega Man also have numbered codenames. For example, Mega Man is DLN-001, and his older brother and prototype Proto Man is DLN-000.
Also relating to railways and numbered names, nearby to where I live there's both a place called 100 Bucks Point (most likely related to old railway fare zones), and another very imaginative one called "Stop 40". No, not 40th Stop, but Stop 40.
I've heard of numbers (spelled out however) as first names, last names, or part of names
I've heard of a guy called Zero, I've heard of Zero (two origins here: one from the Greek word xero, meaning dry, the other from the number), Six (the only origin I could find was from the number) and Ten (the only person I've heard of with this name was from Kazakhstan, so it probably has nothing to do with the number 10) as last names, Twomey and Twohig are somewhat popular last names in Ireland that have the number two in them (there was no W in the original Irish, e.g. Twomey = Ó Tuama, so I would assume that spelling was influenced by the number two, there are also variant spellings without the W like Toomey), I've also heard of Fives as a last name in Ireland (the Irish is Ó Cúige, and cúig is the Irish word for the number 5. I'm not sure where this name originated, or what it has to do with the number 5 if anything). And of course, names with foreign numbers, like Einstein (which would be Onestone if translated literally into English), Quattrocchi (which is Italian for "four eyes", given to someone whose sight was so good it's as if they had 4 eyes instead of 2), Quartermain (from the French "quatre main" (four hands), likely a similar reasoning to Quattrocchi, but related to strength or dexterity instead of vision). There is even a street in Cork called 98 Street (might be named after a year, like 1898 or 1798, there might have been a significant event that happened then)
If referencing a year, it could be the rebellion in Wexford in 1798.
@@Elegia-rh2uh That is exactly it, thanks! I Googled it and it said the Irish Rebellion of 1798, which I assume is the same thing. Link is here: www.yaycork.ie/heres-the-reason-this-cork-street-is-named-after-a-number/
Japanese names, especially male ones, contain numbers!
Hajime (literally "beginning") is often written as "一" ("one"). Any male name with "ichi" in it is most likely also "一" (one) signifying that they are the first son. Sometimes it is also pronounced "kazu" (literally "number"), a male name with "kazu" is like 50% chance to mean "one".
For second sons you sometimes find "二" ("two") most often pronounced "ji", but more often "次" meaning "next". 仁 "hitoshi" or "jin" (literally meaning "benevolence") is sometimes used because it contains "二" for "two".
In anime you will find girls named "Futaba", this is "二葉" ("two leaves") or "双葉" ("double leaves").
For three, you have the name Misaki which is either a family name or a girl's name, where the "mi" is sometimes written as "三" ("three"). During the first half of the 1900's a lot of boys got number names, and for three it is "(-)Saburou".
I could go on, but there are so many names, so I'll leave it here if not anyone wants to know more.
A couple I can think of are primarily in Darling in the Franxx, as most of the Franxx pilots are nicknamed with goroawase numbers. Hiro, Zero Two, Nana, Goro, Ichigo, Naomi are good examples.
Kazoku Uchouten also uses this with all the male members of the main character's family. The eldest is Yaichiro, the second oldest is Yajiro, the main character is Yasaburo, and the youngest is Yashiro. All of their names are a combination of 矢 meaning "arrow" and their number of which son they are.

Another interesting example of place names with numbers are the towns of 70-mile house, 93- mile house, 100-mile house, and 150-mile house in British Columbia, Canada. They’re all named for their distance from Lillooet on the Old Caribou Road, and they were home to roadhouses frequented by stagecoaches travelling to and from the Caribou Gold rush.
If numbers couldn't be names then at least half of the ancient Roman's names would vanish from existence.

@Patrick: The difference between royal regnal numbers and regnal numbers when used by "ordinary" people is that, with the latter example the convention of applying a Roman numeral at the end of family member names is specific to generationally-sequential offspring (typically first-borns of first-borns of first-borns...) beginning with Sr., then Jr./II, then III, etc., but with royals that sequence can be broken by several generations spanning centuries.

There's a town in southwestern Pennsylvania called Eighty Four. They're famous for 84 Lumber, who have lumber yards around the region. The town's name is always spelled out, but the lumber stores are all branded with the digits 84. They got that name because the town had the same name as another town and the post office would commonly get them confused.
As a programmer, the question in the title had me thinking of pointers.
For non-programmers, a quick crash-course. Programs work on pieces of data. Those pieces of data are put into memory locations. The contents of one memory location can be used to point to another memory location, hence the name "pointer". As the contents of every memory location is just a number, a pointer is a case of using a number as a name for a memory location.
And yes, you can have pointers to other pointers, and yes, you can repeat it recursively if needed.

1:53 Numbers can be verbs in some languages - in Polish there is for example ''dwoić'' (verb form of 'dwa' [two]) which literally means ''to become two'' or ''to multiply something by two''. It is only used for numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 even though technically it works for any number.

There's a province in Northeast Thailand named Roi Et which means "One-Hundred One". The reason it has this name is that in ancient times it had eleven gates. Eleven used to be written numerically as ten-one, ๑๐๑ (101), which was later read as one-hundred one.

Shimantou River has an unclear etymology (and was renamed to that in ‘94, having previously been 渡川(watarigawa)).
Possible reasons:
-It is a river where many other rivers flow into (hence an arbitrarily high number).
- It comes from the Ainu shi•mamuto (very beautiful).
- It being a combination of two place names at opposite sides of the river: Shimagawa and Tookawa.
-Ainu word (shimato) meaning “a place with a lot of gravel”
So… who knows!

There was a basketball prospect named Seventh Woods. He didn’t pan out in college. There’s also Andre 3000 and Erykah Badu’s son who is named Seven because of the Seinfeld episode
I just recently found a new favourite TV show, Doctor Who :) The Doctor is always called just the Doctor in the show itself but the different incarnations are also known by their numbers so that fans know which one is which. That's where my thoughts went when there was a person with number 11 on the screen. But not wearing a bowtie, so not cool 😉
How about Einstein? It has Ein in it, which can be either like the English 'a/an' or notify one. Einstein is either 'a stone', or 'one stone'
The characters from Final Fantasy Type-0 (along with the title of the game itself) are numbers (aside from Rem Machina, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace) or involve numbers.
The class itself's name is Class Zero.
Regarding the people named Seven, it could be a reference to Seinfeld. There was an episode where George wanted to name his kid Seven.
One of the characters in The Umbrella Academy is 5, or Five. And an early SF book is Ralph 124C41+.
7 is often thought of as a holy number along with number 3. It is found in ancient adventures (and even religious texts) that probably dates back before at least Christianity, and is appearently also found in adventures from other countries I've been told. I've also read that it comes into play in architecture (!) Maybe part of the reason is becaue people associate numbers with other things connected to those numbers in life, but I'm not quite sure. (Fore example humans can be associated with the number 2 in many ways like we have 2 ears, eyes, feet, kidneys, lungs, nostrils, etc. Cows have 4 feet, four stomachs (I think)
etc.) Anywayz. In Norway we have a town called 13 due to the fact that only 13 people survived the black plague in 1349'ish.
In Brazil there's a famous case of a person called 1 2 3 (name) de Oliveira (maternal/first family name) Quatro (meaning four, paternal/second surname)

Numbers can also be the names of songs - occasionally. John Farnham had a song called "One" (the only half-decent song from his early career), Nightwish has an album call Once. I'm sure there would be many others.
"Song 2" by Blur comes to mind, though that name does contain a word as well.

I found several higher regnal numbers, than XXIII.
The highest I found was from Heinrich LXXIV. Reuß zu Köstritz. That would make him the 74th.
He was the son of Prince Heinrich XLIV. Reuß zu Köstritz. With a jump from 44 to 74.
Then there was Heinrich XLV, Hereditary Prince Reuss Younger Line - so the 45th.
He was son of Heinrich XXVII, Prince Reuss Younger Line. Again, a jump from 28 (still higher than the pope) to 45.
And there was Heinrich XXVII, Prince Reuss Younger Line - so the 27th (still higher than the pope).
He was son of Heinrich XIV, Prince Reuss Younger Line, grandson of Heinrich LXVII, Prince Reuss Younger Line. So three jumps in three generation from 47 to 14 to 27.
This is due to their naming convention of naming all male member "Heinrich", and then counting in order of birth of all members of the family.
So if two brothers had two sons each, and they were born one year apart with the two sons of brother one being the older and the youngest of the four and the other two brothers in the middle:
Son1 of Brother1: Henry I
Son1 of Brother2: Henry II
Son2 of Brother2: Henry III
Son2 of Brother1: Henry IV
And if Henry II had a son, this would be Henry V - and so on.
At the extreme, this would count up to 100/C (Henry C) and then start from 1 again. Another cut was at the turn of the century. Both of which explain both the high numbers and the jumps.
And once he became the ruler, he kept the number he was "given at birth".
See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_County_of_Reuss
I don't know if there is any ruler with a higher regnal number, but I assume that there is no "Whoerver" the 75th or higher - except maybe within the House of Reuss.
In countries that use Chinese characters, numbers are used in names all the time. The name Hifumi in japanese is literally written "123" 「一二三」, or Kazuki, which can mean "One Brightness" 「一輝」

In addition to all the birth order names Japanese had Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Isoroku being a slightly fancy way of saying 56, his father's age at his birth.
Fun fact: The romans often called their children numbers for names, expecially the girls. Since a girl got the feminine form of her father's nomen gentile as her name, i.e. the daughter of a Marcus Tullius would be named Tullia, if he had multiple daughters they were just numbered: Tullia Prima, Tullia Secunda, etc.
One common number as a verb is 86, specifically in the restaurant industry when a menu item is unavailable. If the kitchen runs out of fries, for example, they'll tell the front of the house to '86 fries!'
Another common usage is in reference to tossing someone out of a bar, convenience store or other business. If the bartender or manager of Circle K tells you to get out and don't come back, you got 86'd, and the manager would be the one 86ing you for being too drunk and causing trouble or whatever you did, and now you're like 50 and you've gotta ask college kids to buy you a beer with a handful of pocket lint and pennies.
That second meaning was why the main character in GET SMART was Agent 86
There was a PEANUTS strip from probably the late 60s in which a new kid in that neighborhood claims his name is "5". That predates SEINFELD by quite a bit...but I'm not sure whether or not it predates THE PRISONER (which I was expecting to see a lot of references to)
