Is Hudson too popular?

l_elizabeth · December 2009

We want a not overly popular boy name, and I love Hudson but wondering if it's one of those soon to become too popular names? Nameberry says it was #176 in 2008 which sounds ok, but wondering what everyone else thinks? TIA.

We wanted a name that wasn't in the top 100 most popular names. Every year it gets a little closer, but we love the name regardless. Good choice!

My co-worker's son is named Hudson, he's the first I've ever met.

I don't think it's too popular. I think -son names in general are on the rise, but I don't personally know of any Hudsons.

No, but it's becoming trendy as it is a last name turned first name.

eta: I have seen at least 3 Hudson's on the Bump and I know of 2 people irl who used the name.

LOL- that is my brother's middle name (he's almost 35) and he got crap for having such an "oddball" name. (We used his MN since he and my dad share their FN)... I LOVE how it's a cool name now. NOT too popular though!

I don't think it is too popular, and I really like it.

I think it is growing more so every day.

I don't know any- but it may be on the rise. It still isn't too popular though

Check out the Social Security Administration website for baby name rankings. It doesn't look like Hudson is in the top 100 in Oregon. To put that in perspective, only 52 children in the whole state were given the name that is # 100. Which means that less than 50 boys born in Oregon in 2008 were named Hudson.

I love it! I don't think it's too popular.

I really like that name, but a guy I cannot stand named his son that so it is out for me...Not popular at all where I am though.

love Hudson! I don't think it's too popular.

I like Hudson! I personally don't know any, but I do see it on these boards frequently. I don't think it is too popular though. Of course, I also named my son Jacob so I'm not the best judge

Love it, but my husband doesn't. I will say when we looked at Day Cares there was a cubby with the name Hudson...

I live in NY, so I think of the river first. It is not popular here - I have never met anyone with that name or heard of a child with that name. I think it is a nice, unique name - sounds sophisticated.

This is cool- thanks!

I'm ok with it being popular, I guess it's just overly popular that would bother me (and it sounds like it isnt yet). Thanks everyone!
