Generally I would say NO.
Some see it as OK.
Let me explain:

A person asked me if they were going to get A.I.D.S. because A-I-D-S was in their name.

I told them that abbreviations only count if you do have the full version within your name.

This person did not have ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME in their name.

So no, I would not recommend it, and it.
One can abbreviate far too many words and in a nutshell if the entire word is not in your name, it is not valid.

I will say though that certain words are more acceptable such as OK=okay, TV=television.
However TV can also be transvestite, trans voice, and so forth.
So even those are not strictly speaking valid unless the entire word can be found within your name, phrase or whatever you are trying to Lexigram.

The same goes for adding numbers!
If one does not have for example the word TWELVE in their name they should not add a 12
to their Lexigram. No matter how much they may desire a number that is not found within their name, well desiring it does not make it true.
I hope that made sense.

LEXX-

it makes lots of sense to me.

for example my name contains TEN, ONE, TWO, YEAR,MANY. if i am trying to get to the total of 13 without stating that number can i say TEN YEAR, ONE YEAR, TWO YEAR? or does that fall under what you were explaining about the number 12?

would it be best to simply state MANY A YEAR

Wonderful!
Yes! That is exactly how to do it!
Also the use of synonyms and or as you did for "TWELVE" a phrase substitution!
I talked a bit about substitutions here:
