Help[Opinions] Hudson on a girl?
*shaking head*
1 of my college-mates (roomie of 1 of my best friends) has a daughter named Hudson (her boys' names are super preppy too). Am I the only 1 who thinks that strange? I mean. I think of it as a surname and I don't mind it so much on a boy as surnamey names go, but on a girl? really?

I like Hudson on a boy, but on a little girl? Why, oh why?
1
I really hate Hudson on a girl. It is one of my pet peeves
1
I don't really like Hudson on anyone, but I think I'd prefer it spelled Hudsyn on a girl.
1
and Hudsyn just doesn't look right

I don't think it's strange exactly (there are tons of last names gone boy names used on girls), but I think it's far from appealing. I don't like the sound of the name (as a place name or a last name or a boy name) to begin with :o/

I don't like surnames like that on girls. I prefer to see such names on boys.

I don't think that there's anything feminine about Hudson. The Hud- part at the beginning sounds really masculine, and then -son just makes it even more masculine. It's all boy to me.
1
Unless parents know that their daughter will be transgender or a butch lesbian, forget it. This name is too masculine for a girl.

Hudson is not feminine AT ALL. Really, there's nothing feminine about that name. I can't even picture a girl with that name. I can't. It's too weird. I do like it for a boy though. It's been growing on me lately and I like it more and more. I actually think I could love it but I would never use it.

I've heard it before. On a boy it sounds rather dashing and adventurous (with Henry Hudson as a namesake) if a bit trendy. But on a girl it's klunky and not at all feminine. The HUD- part is unattractive and the -son, means "son of" so I wouldn't apply it to a girl.

Well, I don't like the sound of Hudson anyway, but it feels very surname-y to me because it was a pretty common surname in the town I grew up in. I also generally dislike boys' names on girls, just because I feel it ruins them a bit for boys if they become common enough on girls. So Hudson gets thumbs down from me.

I don't like it on a boy OR a girl. It doesn't have an attractive sound, as far as I'm concerned.
1
I think it's super cool - I tend to like -son names on girls.
1
It's pretty darn unattractive on a girl, to be sure. I mean that HUD sound? On a girl? But after knowing two young women who each had a toddler daughter, one named Blakely and one named Cameron, nothing surprises me any longer.

I know a baby girl Hudson. I do think it's weird, with the whole 'son' thing and that it's obviously not a girls name. I think it's cute (yet trendy) for a boy though.
1
It reminds me of Hudson Leick, so I don't hate it, but I wouldn't encourage it's usage on girls. Or boys for that matter. I don't really like surnames as first names.

For some reason i don't find this out of the ordinary. I think it's actually quite nice on a girl, i've never seen it before though

I agree w/ Aniston
As a rule, I'm not overly bothered by tryndee names. I have an eclectic taste myself, and if I'm free to name my daughter Willow Wren, for example, then okay, name your daughter Aniston. I just don't see the appeal. I've heard it used and I find the sound unattractive as a fn. Anni is a cute nn, which makes me not mind Anniston so much (Chyler Leigh, Grey's Anatony, named her youngest Anniston, and refers to her as Anni). I'm cool with Jennifer, but the name Aniston,I think, is a little TOO tied. It's like naming your child Jolie...you gotta expect the references.
I like Mackenzie on both, for the same reason.

Ah, but the proper alternative to Addison and Mackenzie would be a feminine name (though it doesn't have to be ultra-feminine) that isn't butt-ugly!

lol :P

Mackenzie's among the few surnames I like as a fn... but on a boy... esp. w/ the "son" meaning in there.
1
I like Mackenzie on either :)
1
In theory, it sounds good on either 'cause it's kinda cute, but the meaning incl. son in it gives me an aversion to it on a girl.

Yuck.

Bizarre. It's beyond strange: it's idiotic. Even if it's a family name and she'll inherit a roomful of Georgian silver if she's the eldest grandchild to be named after dear old Whoever, they could surely have stuck in unobtrusively in the mn slot.
Ah-ha! Light-bulb moment! It's not a surname at all, Abbasdaughter. What were we all thinking? It's. The. Name. Of. A. River. So that's all right, then.
(Seems to be one of my sarcastic days; but people do drive one to it.)

My fam knew people w/ surname Hudson...
yeah some people do drive a person to sarcasm... and some of those who do really like to speed... bureaucracy tends to drive a person to sarcasm quite quickly... which would explain why much of Cdn. comedy is political in nature. ("Royal Canadian Air Farce", "This Hour Has 22 Minutes", etc.)

well I am one of those women who like surnames on girls
I have haters but I like it - I can't help it
only Only if I can see it on a girl
I have known a Brennon and Carson who are both girls
and to me Brennon sounds girly
