The name Peggy in Hebrew letters is פגי. 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.
פגי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פגי. Peggy is an English pet form of Margaret, through Meg and Peg; Margaret comes from Greek margarites, “pearl”. The American singer Peggy Lee (1920–2002) was a well-known bearer. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 93 — the same as the Torah word צבא, “host, army”. That number points to Torah page 93 of 354 — in the portion Shemot. What that portion is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Numbers 25:11. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Peggy” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פגי. 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 פגי gives 93.
93
The number 93 is the Torah word צבא — «host, army» (Genesis 2:1).
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.
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) — 93. A Torah word with the same number is צבא — “host, army” (Genesis 2:1).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 12. A Torah word with the same number is הוא — “he, it” (Genesis 2:11).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 30. A Torah word with the same number is כי — “for, because, that” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 466. A Torah word with the same number is שמעון — “Simeon, son of Jacob” (Genesis 29:33).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 6509.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 256. A Torah word with the same number is קיצון — “outermost” (Exodus 26:4).
The letters that come out are ורמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 246. A Torah word with the same number is מדבר — “wilderness” (Genesis 14:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 184. A Torah word with the same number is פקד — “to visit, number” (Genesis 21:1).
The number 93 appears in the classical books 8 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is שער הפסוקים (~1573).

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 פגי 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 פגי these are פ and י. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Numbers 25:11:
פינחס בן אלעזר בן אהרן הכהן השיב את חמתי מעל בני ישראל בקנאו את קנאתי בתוכם ולא כליתי את בני ישראל בקנאתי
This is from the portion Pinchas. What it is about: The covenant of peace with Phinehas; the second census; the daughters of Zelophehad and inheritance; Joshua the successor; the festival offerings.
«And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe in the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.»
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.
