Our story of Hudsyn
Ours, offered as ours. Medieval English made pet forms by rhyming: Richard gave Rick, then Hick and Dick; Robert gave Rob, then Hob and Dob; Roger gave Hodge. Hugh gave Hudde. Those rhyming substitutions produced dozens of modern surnames — Hobson, Dobson, Hodgson, Hudson, Hitchcock — and the practice has no equivalent in modern naming. Hudsyn is at the far end of it with a y added.
Meaning
son of Hudde, that is, of Hugh
From the medieval English pet form Hudde, standing for Hugh, from Germanic hug, mind or spirit; the -son ending records the patronymic. The y is a modern American convention marking a girls' name.

Line the two peaks up, and Lynnetta's path sketches the road Hudsyn is walking now.

- Read correctly on sight by every English speaker.
- Six letters and two syllables, quick to write.
- Hudson is the standard spelling and is overwhelmingly a boys' name.
- The Syn clip sounds like sin and is worth heading off.
- The -son ending means son of, which reads oddly for a girl.
