The name Mushi in Hebrew letters is מושי. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
מושי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מושי. A Tanakh name: a Levite (first in Exodus 6:19; 8 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “sensitive”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 356 — the same as the Torah word פעור, “Peor, mountain in Moab”. That number points to Torah page 2 of 354 — in the portion Bereshit. What that portion is about: Creation in six days and the Sabbath; Adam and Eve in the garden; Cain and Abel; ten generations to Noah. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 22:28. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Mushi” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מושי. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 356. A Torah word with the same number is פעור — “Peor, mountain in Moab” (Numbers 23:28).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 50. A Torah word with the same number is כל — “all, every” (Genesis 1:21).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1316.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 91736.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 788. A Torah word with the same number is שחפת — “consumption, wasting disease” (Leviticus 26:16).
The letters that come out are יפבמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 132. A Torah word with the same number is בלק — “Balak, king of Moab” (Numbers 22:2).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 472. A Torah word with the same number is עבת — “cord, twisted work” (Exodus 28:14).
The number 356 appears in the classical books 6 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is שער הפסוקים (~1573).

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name מושי does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 4 times with prefixes — first in Exodus 6:19.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For מושי these are מ and י. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 22:28:
מלאתך ודמעך לא תאחר בכור בניך תתן לי
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
The name מושי has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 356 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
