I personally think this type of name is for the "Gather" set. Which is fine, if that's your thing.

What does this mean?

The signs all over the house.

Gather

In This Family, we...forgive, etc.

Thankful

Hilarious. I will use "Gather Set" from now on to describe such people.

I love when the thread detours like this. There's a Gather-esque mom at my library with a Delaney and I believe the older son is Dayson or Daison or Dacen.

This is so spot-on. I cannot stop laughing (and living, and loving).

Hudson totally cracks me up because, for decades, it was my mom’s example of an insane name that no one wpuld ever use. For example: “i don’t understand the name Shannon. It’s the name of a river. It’s like naming your baby Hudspn. Can you imagine???!!??”
We lived on the shores of the Hudson. For us, it’s like naming a baby Mississipi, or Danube, or Nile...but I guess people do that too.

My son is named Hudson and I always felt like it had a masculine feel. I'm so surprised to hear of all these girls named that. But if it works for you that's great!

It's pretty hideous for any child but especially egregious for a girl. I'm a NYC native and if I saw this name I would 100% think the parents had no higher than a 10th grade education. It's super tacky.

I'm a teacher. This is one of the few names that has a really bad association for me now. Moms of Delaneys are difficult people.

+1

Parents of a Hudson would also consider Grayson and Jaxon.

I rowed on the Charles in college. There was a lot of oddly gleeful talk about annual body counts of homeless people found in the Charles vs. the Hudson. The Hudson is not a...picturesque...river.
