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.
