Hudson

Whenever I hear the name Hudson, I always think of the Hudson River.

Nowhere near as bad as everyone's saying it is. It will be very 2020's in a few decades, but it's not an awful name by any means.

Handsome, strong.

Not a first name. Think Hudson River and Bay. Sir Henry Hudson. It’s like Jones or Smith as a first name. With how trends work maybe they are.

Ugly as a first name.

All of the Hudson’s that I have met are all kind and optimistic.

Unique as a first name.

Will date badly.

So tacky as a first name, yuk.

I find Hudson very nice, but no thank you, I like it better as a surname.

Very wealthy old man. He's handsome though.

Love this name! Sounds so strong and masculine.

When did this even become a real name? It’s so so chavy.

Really common fad name will be soooo dated in a few years.

I don't like this name, it's one of my least favorite boy's names.

I just think of the Hudson river.

This is a last name, not a first name. Sounds ugly as a first name by the way.

Though I do associate this name positively with the character from the cartoon Gargoyles, I find it too surname-y for a person. It doesn't sound fitting on anyone as a first name, and Hud just sounds weird as a nickname.

I find this name quite annoying and I'm not sure why it's even used as a first name. It's historic, the Hudson Trading Company (Lewis and Clark), it's the name of a river. I know three Hudson's under five and they are all handfuls! Avoid this name if you're wanting a sweet, well-behaved boy. Also, Huddie is a terrible nickname.

You are wrong! My name is Hudson and I'm not a handful like you said. Haha!

Instead, I'm very calm and love to study. Where I live (Brazil), very few guys have this name, but I like it!

Haha. I live in the town of Hudson! I don't think I'd ever name my kid this, though.

I love the name Hudson - very strong name.

I prefer this as a last name.

I'm not crazy about this as a first name, but it doesn't sound quite as pretentious and elitist as Sanford or as low-class and tacky as Jackson. I guess Hud isn't such a terrible nickname.

This is a fantastic name.
