In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is נדז'דה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 70 — the same as the Torah word כן, “set upright”.

What that portion is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Leviticus 22:8. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.

The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 40:12:
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יוֹסֵף זֶה פִּתְרֹנוֹ שְׁלֹשֶׁת הַשָּׂרִגִים שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים הֵם
And Joseph said unto him: 'This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
This is from the portion Vayeshev. What it is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker.

Nine 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) — 70. A Torah word with the same number is כן — “set upright” (Genesis 1:7).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 25. A Torah word with the same number is כה — “like this, i.e. by implication” (Genesis 15:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 34. A Torah word with the same number is לבב — “the heart” (Genesis 20:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 258. A Torah word with the same number is חרן — “Charan, the name of a man and also of a place” (Genesis 11:31).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2606.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 300. A Torah word with the same number is כפר — “to cover” (Genesis 6:14).
The word that comes out is טקעקצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 369. A Torah word with the same number is נחושה — “copper” (Leviticus 26:19).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1047.
The number 70 appears in the classical books 90 times across 44 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name נדז'דה does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
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 נדז'דה these are נ and ה. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Leviticus 22:8:
נבלה וטרפה לא יאכל לטמאה בה אני ה׳
This is from the portion Emor. What it is about: Laws of the priests; animals without blemish; the calendar of festivals — from the Sabbath to Sukkot; the lamp and the showbread.

How it is counted
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.
