I thought this would be kind of fun to play... We know 4869 means "Sherlock," so what other words/names can be written as numbers?

Here is a list, for quick reference
0. ma, maru, re, rei
1. ichi, i, hi, hito, hitotsu
2. ni, fu, futa, futatsu
3. san, sa, mi, mitsu
4. shi, yon, yo, yotsu
5. go, ko, itsu, itsutsu
6. roku, ro, mu, mutsu
7. shichi, nana, na, nanatsu
8. hachi, ha, ba, yatsu, ya
9. kyuu, ku, ko, kokonotsu
10. juu, ji, tou

Example: Mitsuhiko is probably 3 1 9, and I think my (real) name is 1 8 4... doesn't translate very well though

Before this thread vanishes into oblivion, let me suggest one more

3 9 3     8 9 8
Spoiler:
Sa-gu-ru  Ha-ku-ba
('cause ã‚‹(ru) looks like a 3 - marginal)
There aren't many people names you can do this with but perhaps there other words that are related to the manga...?

One thing I forget is
Spoiler:
what Mizunashi meant - nashi (none) + re + na = 007, but was there a purpose for "mizu"?

I think they took mizunashi as no water=nothing (as in there would be no life on earth etc...) = 0
I guess it would work without the mizu part just as well though.
