    Question Spelling???

    weve finally agreed on the name Hudson(hudsyn) Lee

    DH wanted hunter but i won lol

    problem now is spelling which DH has left to me to decide but im stuck

    i prefer Hudsyn i think it looks nicer and softer but im torn because Hudson would more likely suit a teenager/adult but Hudsyn looks better for a baby/child

    ???? what do you think

    I prefer Hudson. It looks strange spelt the other way.
    I do love the name though.

    Maybe Hudsen would be better? I dunno, the Y looks funny to me.....your baby though!

    I prefer Hudson, it looks like a very strong and nice name. Hudsyn IMO looks really weird, and I'd also pronounce it hud-SIN if I saw it spelt like that.

    I am with the others. The poor kid will spend half his life having his name spelt incorrectly and the other half telling people how to spell it.

    I'd probably stick with the traditional spelling, which says a lot cos I changed ds's name (aricin to Aricyn even though aricin is the traditional Scandinavian spelling) and I changed dd1's middle name from Addison to addisyn. So normally I am a fan of the y

    However - your other kids have different spellings so perhaps the less traditional spelling would fit in more?

    as a teacher, I prefer the traditional spelling - there are some names I can't spell anymore because of the variations that I've had in my class.

    I prefer Hudson.
    I agree with PZ, I think Hudsyn looks as though it should be pronounced Hud-sin.

    I'm another vote for Hudson. I much prefer it to the other spelling. Great name though.

    The Y looks really out of place. Stick with the O

    when i write it the Y looks better but seeing the O so many times really looks better
    i reakon ill go with Hudson already gotta spell our surname everytime plus my 2 older ones names lol so maybe Hudson is better and easier
