The first name of House M.D. character Cuddy is Lisa.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy is the dean of medicine and hospital administrator at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. She supervises House, manages the institution's practical demands, and repeatedly attempts to balance his extraordinary diagnostic results against his rule-breaking behavior.
Lisa Edelstein portrayed Cuddy for the first seven seasons of the series. Cuddy's position gives her authority over House, but their relationship is more complicated than a simple supervisor-subordinate conflict. The show develops professional tension, friendship, attraction, and disagreements about patient safety and hospital policy.
Cuddy is often called simply “Cuddy” in dialogue, which can make her first name easy to overlook. She is not the same character as Allison Cameron, Remy Hadley, or other members of House's diagnostic teams; Cuddy is primarily an administrator and physician leader rather than a regular team diagnostician.
