Hudson sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “H” on, most of its 6 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. The tall letter “d” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Hudson was the #17 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Hudson tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.
How each letter in Hudson is formed:
- H — Two big lines down side by side, then a bar across the middle to bridge them.
- u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
- d — Curve round like a c first, then a tall line up on its right side and straight back down.
- s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
- o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
- n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.
The tall strokes in Hudson come from “H” and “d” — two of its 6 letters reach the top guide line. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Hudson an even, tidy silhouette.
Hudson runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). On the popularity side it holds a top-100 spot on the 2025 boys' list, ranking ahead of 948 of the 965 boys' names on this site.
Hudson was the #17 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. The worksheet itself is one page — US Letter, A4-friendly — ruled with classic three-line handwriting guides plus a descender line below.
Tips for tracing Hudson
- Split Hudson down the middle: trace “Hud”, pause, then “son” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
- Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tall, small, small, small” — the size pattern of Hudson sticks faster when it has words.
- End every session the same way: one Hudson on blank paper, no guides — recall is what turns a traced pattern into a learned one.
Customization options
Font style
Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Hudson always prints in solid dark letters for reference.
Letter size
The size option changes the guide-line height. Hudson fits at every setting; the large lines are the friendliest starting point, and stepping down makes a natural next milestone.
Number of practice lines
You choose how many rows of Hudson print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
