[Opinions] Re: Hudson on a girl?
I'm not surprised; I'm hearing of little girls named things like Aniston and McKinley. I guess parents are looking for alternatives to the super popular Addison, Mackenzie, etc.

I don't "get" Aniston. I keep seeing it in BA's, and I always wonder why parents would want to name their child for a television actress who got dumped by Brad Pitt. It baffles me.I actually like Mackenzie, but I prefer it on a boy. I think it has spunk.

I agree w/ AnistonAs a rule, I'm not overly bothered by tryndee names. I have an eclectic taste myself, and if I'm free to name my daughter Willow Wren, for example, then okay, name your daughter Aniston. I just don't see the appeal. I've heard it used and I find the sound unattractive as a fn. Anni is a cute nn, which makes me not mind Anniston so much (Chyler Leigh, Grey's Anatony, named her youngest Anniston, and refers to her as Anni). I'm cool with Jennifer, but the name Aniston,I think, is a little TOO tied. It's like naming your child Jolie...you gotta expect the references. I like Mackenzie on both, for the same reason.

Ah, but the proper alternative to Addison and Mackenzie would be a feminine name (though it doesn't have to be ultra-feminine) that isn't butt-ugly!

Mackenzie's among the few surnames I like as a fn... but on a boy... esp. w/ the "son" meaning in there.

I like Mackenzie on either :)

In theory, it sounds good on either 'cause it's kinda cute, but the meaning incl. son in it gives me an aversion to it on a girl.
