The method of calculating the number of strokes suitable for a name based on the birth date is as follows: 1. Find the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the year, month, day and hour in the birth date. 2. Match the heavenly stems and earthly branches of each character to the corresponding number of strokes by looking up the corresponding stroke number table. 3. Add the number of strokes of each character to get the total number of strokes. 4. Choose the appropriate number of words according to personal preference and the meaning of the name, which can be adjusted according to the total number of strokes. It should be noted that when naming, not only the number of strokes is important, but also the five elements, rhythm and other factors should be considered. In addition, it is best to consult a professional naming master or calligrapher during the naming process to ensure that the name is appropriate.
