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) — 245. A Torah word with the same number is מהר — “to hasten” (Genesis 18:6).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 29. A Torah word with the same number is דכה — “crushed” (Deuteronomy 23:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 74. A Torah word with the same number is עד — “until, as far as” (Genesis 3:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1226.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 17417.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1014.
The letters that come out are חמדחנפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 190. A Torah word with the same number is כנען — “Canaan, son of Ham” (Genesis 9:18).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 877.

The name סיקסטו 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 ס and ends with ו. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 6 such verses. The first of them is Jeremiah 5:8:
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: סיקסטו = 245. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.' --Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.--»
