Thoughts on the name Hudson

[lil812]

Since everyone wasn’t a fan of Prairie 😂, I thought it was kind of cute. How do you guys feel about the name Hudson, for a boy of course

The only Hudson I know is a) American, and B) a little shit.

@MrsFin

I don't like any of the names that end in '-son': Hudson Jackson/Jaxson Madison Harrison Mason Grayson Jason Etc.

These are all atrocious.

Naff as a first name

Awful

It always makes me think of Sir Hudson Bobbin, he ate himself to death.
However it is the name of my great nephew and it’s a bloody awful name for a child in my opinion.

A PP beat me to it, but yes, it always means Hudson, the Scots butler in Upstairs Downstairs, to me. Brilliantly played by Gordon Jackson.

I’m another one for it’s a surname.

Hudson was the Butler in Upstairs Downstairs-dreadful name.

It's really nice and although it sounds American, it's actually of English origin.

I'm not keen on it i'm afraid

Nope, I don't like surnames as first names.

I really like it! A strong name for a boy!

It's fine as a surname, it's not as a first name to me.

@CeeceeBloomingdale

It's fine as a surname, it's not as a first name to me.

Me too. Obviously as with all names those with loved ones with the name will have v different experience. I don’t know anyone called this so my first thoughts - Upstairs downstairs The Bay, the River - would wonder if the boy had American connections - not fond of place names as first names. I like it as a surname.

I like it, but then I also like your other suggestion. I know 2. One with an American dad and one Aussie. The Aussie named ce the Hudson car company.

@Tempusfudgeit

'Game over, man, game over!'

Love it!

Not my type of name but it's miles better than Prairie.

It’s nice, much nicer than Prairie! It’s not too popular but not outlandish. Just a nice normal name.

@SirChenjins

Are you a bit obsessed with America at the moment OP?

No, Hudson is not very nice - it’s a Jaxon/Kai/Riley/Mason/Tyler type name.

Most of those names are really popular, with the exception of Jaxon, as Jackson is more well-used than Jaxon. All fine, well used names that wouldn’t raise an eyebrow really,

My first thought is plane crash. After that I am ambivalent. It's not great or terrible. If you like it, go for it.

Have you read Don Tillman? He names his autistic son Hudson. It stands for Human Under Development and SON

Sounds like someone one of Trump's daughters will eventually marry.

@SirChenjins - wholeheartedly agree. Always the kids standing in the corridor when parents are shown round.

I also liked Prairie

I have known many Savannahs!

Ooh.. Prairie, Savannah, Serengeti, Tundra, Bush, Veldt, Scrub, Pasture, Paddock, Lawn

Limitless possibilities..

It reminds me of the actor Rock Hudson.
