[Opinions] as long as it's a boy name

I like it. I actually don't find it overly trendy (except if it's on a girl) but rather get a really old-fashioned, rugged feel out of it, a la The Hudson's Bay Company, founded in 1670. (I live in the same province as Hudson Bay)
I imagine big beards, snowshoes, walking miles on foot, isolation, and the vast untamed wilderness. Also really awesome lithograph catalogue pictures selling corsets and newfangled whiz-bang contraptions.
I think as a brother to Alexa, it does look really fairly trendy and therefore a little bit shriller rather than rich and old-fashioned. Is Alexa short for Alexandra? Alexandra and Hudson have a lovely old-new-world feel. Something like Hudson George or Husdon Albert would really heighten that effect. Something like Hudson Riley... less so.
