title: Match letter to corresponding number in list in Python
body: <p>I'm looking at making a program, that when the user inputs a name as an argument it matches each letter to a corresponding number stored in a list.</p>
  
  <p>For eg: </p>
  
  <pre><code>def nameNumbers(name):
      alphabetList = ['Aa', 8.17, 'Bb', 1.49, 'Cc', 2.78, 'Dd', 4.25, 
    'Ee', 12.70, 'Ff', 2.23, 'Gg', 2.02, 'Hh', 6.09, 'Ii', 6.97, 
    'Jj', 0.15, 'Kk', 0.77, 'Ll', 4.03, 'Mm', 2.41, 'Nn', 6.75, 
    'Oo', 7.51, 'Pp', 1.93, 'Qq', 0.10, 'Rr', 5.99, 'Ss', 6.33, 
    'Tt', 9.06, 'Uu', 2.76, 'Vv', 0.98, 'Ww', 2.36, 'Xx', 0.15, 
    'Yy', 1.97, 'Zz', 0.07]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So if I was to pass in "Adam" it would return:</p>
  
  <pre><code>8.17
  4.25
  8.17
  2.41
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
