The name Huguette in Hebrew letters is איגט. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
איגט
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is איגט. Huguette is the French feminine form of Hugues (Hugh), from the Germanic word “hug”, which means “mind, spirit”. The name was common in France in the 1930s. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 23. That number points to Torah page 23 of 354 — in the portion Lech Lecha. What that portion is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is 1 Kings 22:50. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Huguette” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: איגט. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
And she called the name of HaShem that spoke unto her, Thou art a G-d of seeing; for she said: 'Have I even here seen Him that seeth Me?'
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
with finals and ordinal — 23.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 107. A Torah word with the same number is גלעד — “Gilead, region east of Jordan” (Genesis 31:21).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 191. A Torah word with the same number is המקום — “the place” (Genesis 13:3).
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 49. A Torah word with the same number is מואב — “Moab, son of Lot” (Genesis 19:37).
The letters that come out are תמרנ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 690. A Torah word with the same number is ריפת — “Riphath, son of Gomer” (Genesis 10:3).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 633. A Torah word with the same number is אזכרתה — “its memorial portion” (Leviticus 2:2).
The number 23 appears in the classical books 5 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).

The name איגט does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with א and ends with ט. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 5 such verses. The first of them is 1 Kings 22:50:
אז אמר אחזיהו בן אחאב אל יהושפט ילכו עבדי עם עבדיך באניות ולא אבה יהושפט
