The name Niki in Hebrew letters is ניקי. 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.
ניקי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ניקי. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 170 — the same as the Torah word ענן, “cloud”. That number points to Torah page 170 of 354 — in the portion Vayikra. What that portion is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Isaiah 32:9. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Niki” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: ניקי. 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.
Adding up the letters of the name ניקי gives 170.
170
The number 170 is the Torah word ענן — «cloud» (Genesis 9:13).
if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without blemish.
This is from the portion Vayikra. What it is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices.
The same number, 170, is given by these Tanakh names:

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) — 170. A Torah word with the same number is ענן — “cloud” (Genesis 9:13).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 8. A Torah word with the same number is אהב — “to love” (Genesis 22:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 53. A Torah word with the same number is אבן — “stone” (Genesis 2:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 900. A Torah word with the same number is שרת — “to minister, serve” (Genesis 39:4).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 12700.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 440. A Torah word with the same number is שמנים — “eighty” (Genesis 5:25).
The letters that come out are טמדמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 93. A Torah word with the same number is צבא — “host, army” (Genesis 2:1).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 332. A Torah word with the same number is לבש — “to put on, clothe” (Genesis 3:21).
The number 170 appears in the classical books 14 times across 9 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning

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 ניקי 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
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with נ and ends with י. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 15 such verses. The first of them is Isaiah 32:9:
נשים שאננות קמנה שמענה קולי בנות בטחות האזנה אמרתי
The name ניקי has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 170 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.
