So cool! Definitely a form of synaesthesia. Some people report that numbers have genders as well.

I have synaesthesia for numbers and letters (which is one reason why I study it) and numbers have personalities for me too. 7 and 8, for example, are both female, but 8 is like a pushy extraverted older sister, while 7 is the interesting one you would actually want to have a conversation with. laugh

The issue of losing synaesthesia as you get older is an interesting one. I have one memory of very vivid taste-color synaesthesia as a child, but I don't have anything like that as an adult.
