I honestly don't know anyone with either of these names but I did see Colton in my local paper's birth announcements 3 times so far this summer! It was one of our top picks but I really don't want to pick a name that's too trendy...

wdyt? 

any other ideas for me?

    I only know (and distantly at that) one person with each of these names, so I'm no help. Although, I would say on this board, Hudson definitely seems to come up more than Colton.

    According to the SSA Colton is more common.  It is ranked 98 while Hudson is ranked 176 (for 2008).  For what it is worth, I do not know anyone with either of these names.

    Colton is pretty popular around my area with 5 to 12 year old boys and I don't think either is very common with newborns. I've never met a Hudson.

    I know one of each, but I also know a couple of Cole's, which may end up being a nickname for Colton, so that is something else to consider.

    I've never heard of the name Colton, which I don't like anyway.  I know 1 Hudson and I think it is OK.

    I think Colton is more popular than Hudson, but I think Hudson is gaining popularity.

    Colton's been in the top 100 since 1989.

    Hudson just entered the top 1000 in 1995 and is steadily gaining in popularity.

    I look up baby rooms for my website and see so many Hudson names.  It is growning fast but out of all the 1000's of room only 1 Colton.

    I've never met a Hudson, but I have met a Colton.  They both sound nice.

    I don't know any Coltons but I don't really like the name.

    I know one Hudson, he's 1 and 1/2 years old.  I like the name Hudson.

    If that's in your local papers I would go with Hudson then. Around here though, the only thing/one named Hudson is the river. I never met a person named Colton or Hudson.

    All those son names are very popular right now, Hudson is no exception. Colton reminds me of horses.?

    I've never met or heard of anyone with the first name Hudson.

    I do know several Coltons.  3 out of 4 are under 2.  IMO it's becoming very popular.

    I don't know any Hudsons IRL and the one Colton I know is 17.  I prefer Hudson, if it matters.

    I think there are 3 of us on the 12-24 month board with sons named Hudson.  I don't know any Coltons and I've only met one other Hudson IRL.  GL!

    I love the name Hudson. It's one of my top picks for a boy.  Unfortunately I'm having a hard time convincing my husband...

    I'm related to a Colton - he's about 8.  Hudson's was a large department store chain in the midwest until Marshall Fields (and then Macy's) bought them out.  I still see people carrying Hudson's bags and boxes.
