We are likely to have another girl but need a boys name just in case. My DH really likes the name Jensen but I'm not at all convinced. Please can i have opinions on this name thanks.

Awful

I just think there are thousands of normal names out there. Why saddle a child with something off the wall?

Thank you for the feedback so far.

My girls names are all feminin and fairly english traditional. I'm not sure I fancy somethibg that sounds American. Lady, Ihave no interest in f1 at all, my dh is not really a fan. Blue, I would hate m child to have a name that results in your reaction. Hmm, some thinking to do.

Hideous.

Horrible. Sorry

LadyAntonella · 06/06/2016 16:58

I like it! I think it's pretty cool. I might wonder if you loved F1 though. Do you?

bluecarpet · 06/06/2016 16:53

Poor child.

I'm sorry but I don' like it, I just think Jenson Button and it is also very American sounding. Reminded me of standing in the playground before half term and hearing 'Ayrton (as in Senner I assume) come 'eeeeeeeerrrrrre!'

I love it, my friend is called Jensen but she is female, she lives in the states :)

PotOfYoghurt · 06/06/2016 16:43

I like it- Jensen Ackles, Jensen Button etc

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 06/06/2016 16:41

I love it.

My mum suggested it to me for DS2 but someone I knew had already used it.

justdontevenfuckingstart · 06/06/2016 16:39

Love it!

toadworthy · 06/06/2016 16:38

It's cool. My boys would love to have a name like that.

Hurricane99 · 06/06/2016 16:36

I quite like. Feels like the American surname-as-first-name vibe, like Carter or Wilson. Only association I can think of is Jenson Button, which is ok

pinkyredrose · 06/06/2016 16:32

Fabulous name, love it!
