Overall the name Hudson, in my personal opinion is a sweet name, however the name Hudson may be seen as a surname but to me I see the name Hudson as a first name and see it as a name that ages well with sophistication and class. The name Hudson would also be a unique name but it isn't too uncommon which would add that little bit of trend to the name. The meaning of the name however doesn't mean anything and is insignificent in this case. I give the name Hudson a nice and strong seven out of ten.
