Dislike it. Nickname Jenny wouldn't be good either, sorry.

Ackles.

Mmmmmmm.

But I'm not actually that fond of Jensen as a name.

Don't like Jensen and can't think of any nice nicknames either (Jen, Jenny, Jensy). Sorry.

Sorry to join with the general negativity, but I don't like it. I would assume you'd either chosen the name because of the racing driver or the make of car, and tbh I'd think that was a bit naff.

Button.

I also know of two Jensons, both under 6 months old, and no others, so I suspect it's going to become quite a 'trendy' name.

Jensen = I think steam engine

Jenson = I think Button, - but that's not a bad thing

jensen, I think of the surname, Jenson i think of the F1 driver, and whilst I like the name I cannot stand him.

I love it particularly inspired by Mr B and as an F1 nut it was lined up for our first child seven years ago who turned out to be a girl followed by another girl. If we do ever have a third child it would still be my choce for a boy. It is so hard to find nice bys names,

I love it, personally.

Is there a problem with naming your son after a world-class F1 driver?

'tis better than Norman.

It's risen in popularity because of Mr Button. By the time the child is at secondary school, no one will have heard of him.

I have a 9mth old Jensen, no one has yet called him Jen or Jenny.

I personally don't care if people think of Jenson Button when they hear the name & is it really that bad..... he's a racing driver not a criminal or anything.

If you like go for it.... but you can't like it that much if a few negative comments have made you change your mind. With most names, there will always be people who love it or hate it for one reason or another. Too old, too modern, too chavvy, reminds me of my ex best friend who used to eat her toenails etc etc. Pick and stick with a name you love.
