Hudson

[ED1984]

What do you think of the name Hudson for a boy?

My immediate thought although only those over a certain age will remember him.

Shit link failed. iPad still eluding me on links. Anyway thought Gordon Jacksonnas Hudson in Upstairs Downstairs.

Thanks - have never heard of that myself though

No link worked ok for me - It took me to google with 'Hudson Upstairs Downstairs' in the search box - just had to click on search

He was a nice enough character in an old butlerish way - a bit like the butler in Downton. I would have thought most 40+s would think of him.

Hudon Bay or Hudson River

I like it :-) I quite liked Hadleigh as well

Thanks- Hadleigh was also on our initial list!

Currently our top 2 our Monty and Hudson

Oops our top 2 ARE Monty and Hudson

Hadleigh o:

Sounds more like a surname to me

Hudson Hawk, one of the worst films of all time, with Bruce Willis.
Paul Newman, played the Hudson Hornet in Cars.

Don't like it at all sorry, doesn't sound like a name to me. Out of the two I'd go with Monty, but neither are great for me.

It does sound like a surname, but then so do a lot of names nowadays, although its more unusual than say Riley,Kennedy,Mason or Morgan. I actually quite like it.

it's a river, surely?

I prefer Monty.

Wanted to call DS Hudson but DH didn't like it. Would have shortened to "Sonny" which I think is soooo cool.

It's a river.

Love it! And Hadleigh, but thought that was a girls name. I wanted Hudson on the list if Dd has been a DS but I no a dig called Hudson. If loads of people I know didn't know the dog I still would have used it!

Sorry,Hudson will be forever a kind,slightly unctuous butler....and the Upstairs Downstairs theme comes into my head.....

MN 2030: AIBU to call my baby Carson?

Then all you young'uns will be saying "No it's a butler's name ffs.".

My nephew is Barnabas Hudson and I love it. I wish they had chosen Hudson as his first name!

I like Hudson. It sounds masculine, cool and isn't overused as so many are these days. People are much more likely to remember a Hudson. Great choice imo!

Nice, but makes me think 'Will he fly planes'? (Plane in river) Don't like the nn potential there much either! But I prefer it to Monty.

Rock Hudson was a very famous 1950's fim star (heart throb) who died of AIDS.

I know a man with the surname Hudson
