Judson
This name is another form of the Hebrew name, Judah, which means "praise." Judson has a different but cool sound to me, can call him Judd if you like (which my husband thinks is just too tacky, but I really like), and Judson sounds great as a grown man's name. Brings to mind the great missionary Adoniram Judson.
