You are right about the symbol. Perhaps it's ok to overload H. C is overloaded: it's used in SI for coulombs and Celcius temperature. We could make it °H? Degree of Hamishness? Hr? Hamish rank. Hi? Hamish index. Ham? Simply Hamish. Would need to keep the H though.

Other suggestions?
And to think my Physics II for Engineering & Architectural Majors Final Exam is in 17 hours. Over Electricity, Light, and Waves.

Inductive.....Inductive.....Inductive.....must study.
