4 = shi
5 = go
6 = roku
7 = shichi
8 = hachi
9 = kyuu
10 = juu

There are many different ways to spell Nana in Japanase.
Na can be translated in the following ways:
夏 (summer)
奈 (apple tree)
菜 (vegetable)
七 (seven)
梛 (evergreen tree)
Therefore Nana can be any combination of the kanji above, or even the same kanji used twice.
Na can also mean 納 (settlement) as well as several other things but those would be much more unlikely to be used in a girls name.

I'd have to check on the reference to this name meaning "apple" because I didn't know the kanji for apple could be pronounced that way.
For "na", one can use the first character in Nara (which has a meaning that has something to do with a plant) or a kanji meaning name. For the second kanji, one can either choose one of these 2 kanji or a kanji that basically takes on the reading of the kanji before it (kind of like a ditto).
You can add an "e" (ay) and make the name Nanae.
