I think Hudson is a good butler name.  Definitely the graphic on the main page gives it away.  My first pick would have been Jeeves as well, but I think Hudson is a cool name - I was just wondering if it was a "famous" butler from a book or a movie.  I did a Google search before posting but came up with nothing.  I never thought to check Wikipedia!

Alfred is good too, but it reminds me of Batman. ;o)

Mark.

Being a non-native English speaker, I might have chosen the wrong name
(although I did talk to native speakers about this.)

Yeah, I have a slave machine called 'alfred'. I found this list to be
very useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_fictional_butlers
