Very strong and handsome name. I know a little Hudson who is Hollis' age (5) and he is such a character. That makes me love the name even more :o)Mo6

Love it in a gp kind of way. I think of Saul Hudson (Slash, former guitarist in Guns N' Roses) when I hear it and he's the reason why I love it.
It's all boy to me. It's terrible on a girl. I think I prefer it as a middle name but I would love to meet a little Hudson.

I love Hudson! I would totally consider using it. It is very masculine but not over the top, it is modern but feels older & has a bit of a preppiness to it.

Trendy surname as fn. There are some surnames that I admit I kind of like. But this one feels so "sheep-following-the-crowd" to me.

I don't see it as a 'trendy surname as fn'. I see it more as a place name - Hudson River Valley, my husband is from a town called Hudson. So I do see it as a little trendy, just not the surname trend.

Well, I'm from NYC so Hudson reminds me of the river that lines my city. The Hudson River isn't a bad thing... but it's not exactly clean, and people like to make jokes about dumping bodies in the Hudson. So, it'd be off limits for me, but if you have no ties to the river, it's a nice enough name!Sorry if that's not what you were looking for, but it's what came to mind lol.

It's not terrible, but I would think it strange to see used if it had no significance to the parents. Like it's a family name, or maybe you have some liking for the Hudson River or Hudson Bay or you met while working at a Hudsons.

Christian parents often use the name as a nod to Hudson Taylor.

Hmm, haven't heard of him. Well a namesake of someone you admire is also an acceptable reason to use an otherwise random surname, too. :)

I'm probably just about the only person on here who will like this one, but I really do. Sure it's trendy as all heck, but at least it's not popular too, and I feel it has a strong enough sound to tide it over past early childhood. While I wouldn't use it myself, I like it for someone else's kid. I'd balance it out with a more classic solid middle name, give the kid an option for when he grows up.Thumbs up to Hudson.
