Those are two different things. Logan 5 is a 6. That's three pieces of information:
Logan is his name.
The 5 is that he's the fifth Logan.
The 6 relates to his age range.
A few years prior to the movie, Logan 5 would have been a 5.
I could still be wrong, but that seems to make a sense.
I'm just expressing my opinion.

I don't think so
In the book, the maximum age was 21 years old to the day, and the color of your palm crystal correlated to your age:
Yellow (age 0-6), then Blue (age 7-13), then Red (age 14-20), then blinks Red and Black on Lastday, and finally turns Black at 21.
So the colors correlate to your age range, and have no numerical tie to your name.
The age was changed to 30 in the movie version, but the rest of the correlation remained the same.
Which again, is why Logan 5 who thought the baby in the nursery might be his, says "it's not everyday you get to see a newborn Sandman", and thus was calling him Logan 6.
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it? -

I don't know which part of my comment you are disagreeing with, but I definitely never said that the colors they wear relate to their name.
I'm just expressing my opinion.

No, you said their number relates to their age, which it does notother than, it is the sequence in which they are born from that name.

Crockett-John's response is the most sensible application
Logan is his name.
The 5 is that he's the fifth Logan.
The 6 relates to his age range.
This is also how I interpreted it back in the 70's and every subsequent viewing after that.
I dont need you to tell me how good my coffee is.

Well lisp would only
become
onomatopoeic, if a person with a lisp, pronounced the word.unlike true onomatopoeic words like pow or bang or yes, spit.

It sounds to me as if there is a "zero year", and it goes up to 7. Jessica is therefore 22. She goes to Red 0 on her 23rd birthday. Then Red 7 lands her right on her 30th birthday and Carousel.

That is how I remember interpreting the movie as well. I never thought the name number had anything to do with age. But I'll watch it again and check. I saw it in the theater when it came out but have a cy now.

I agree, they do use numbers like that at the beginning of the film when Logan-5 is going to see his son Logan-6.
But it seems to be used differently later on, the way Logan uses it in his apartment with Jessica implies it's age-related (Logan: "Are you a five or a six?" Jessica: "Six: I go green next year"). It could be a continuity error.
