Edwin is a judge and a numerologist. He is married to a woman whose name:

1) Has a "product" that is the same as that for "JUDGE" using the correspondence of letters and numbers below.

     A-1   B-2   C-3   D-4   E-5   F-6   G-7   H-8   I-9
     J-10  K-11  L-12  M-13  N-14  O-15  P-16  Q-17  R-18
     S-19  T-20  U-21  V-22  W-23  X-24  Y-25  Z-26

2) Has no letter in common with "JUDGE" and has no "C" because 3 is his unlucky number.

3) Has its letters in alphabetical order when the first letter and the second letter are interchanged.

What is the English name of the judge´s wife?

I looked at it this way:

In numerology, the values of the letters are usually added, not multiplied, so J-U-D-G-E = 10+21+4+7+5 = 47.

I also thought I'd start by using names that only used each letter once.

But, I did use the hint "product": I took it to mean all products related to the numbers given:

10 - 1, 10, 2, 5; 21 - 1, 21, 3, 7; 4 - 1, 4, 2; 7 - 1, 7; 5 - 1, 5

This gives 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, and 26, or A, B, F, H, I, L, N, O, P, R, T, V, X, Y, Z. The letters need to add up to 47.

So, then I started looking at the first two letters...

Ba, Fa, Ha, La, Li, Na, Ni, Oa, Oi, Pa, Pi, Po, Ra, Ri, Ro,...you get it.

If you take PA, that is 16+1, 17. Add T (20), and you have:

PAT = 16+1+20 = 47
