The name Tomash in Hebrew letters is טומש. 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.
טומש
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is טומש. The name came through Aramaic: תאומא, “twin”. The word is in the Torah: “and behold, there were twins in her womb” (Genesis 25:24). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 355 — the same as the Torah word שנה, “year”. That number points to Torah page 1 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 Ecclesiastes 7:11. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Tomash” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: טומש. 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) — 355. A Torah word with the same number is שנה — “year” (Genesis 1:14).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 22. A Torah word with the same number is יחד — “together” (Genesis 13:6).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 49. A Torah word with the same number is מואב — “Moab, son of Lot” (Genesis 19:37).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1306.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 91717.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 434. A Torah word with the same number is דלת — “door” (Genesis 19:6).
The letters that come out are נפיב — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 142. A Torah word with the same number is בלעם — “Balaam, son of Beor” (Numbers 22:5).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 871.

The name טומש has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 355 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.
