I liked this name but made the mistake of telling someone who has put me off - whats your thoughts when you hear it?

Agree its in the same bracket as tyler and mason, not good sorry

OSETmum · 15/02/2017 07:45

I like it but also prefer the spelling Jensen.

MadameJosephine · 15/02/2017 07:41

Not keen I'm afraid. There are lots of them in my area too (north east)

MollyHuaCha · 15/02/2017 07:39

If you like it, then go for it Smile

But seeing as you've asked for views, I am not that keen. I just don't like any of the 'son' names - Jenson, Madison, Harrison, Jackson, Benson, Brandon, Emerson, Mason, Stetson, Wilson, Nelson, Braxton - to me they all sound like surnames.

Instead there are so many gorgeous boys names to choose from such as Edward, Thomas, Samuel, Michael, James, Sebastian, Ben, David, Luke, Oliver, Alexander, Daniel, William, Henry, Matthew, Gabriel, Julian, Christian, Christopher...

It's very overused in my area (south east), there are two in DDs class, and about a further 5/6 in the school.

BridgetDarcy · 15/02/2017 07:29

What Queen said.

Mclaren37 · 15/02/2017 05:44

Sounds very harsh to me.

Only1scoop · 14/02/2017 17:04

It's a surname

Only1scoop · 14/02/2017 17:04

Awful

EweAreHere · 14/02/2017 17:03

I actually quite like it.

Florrie21 · 14/02/2017 17:02

I do know a couple of Jenson/Jensen both 8 yrs......they are cute but to me it will be a name that really dates the person. I think it'll be trendy for a short while. I'm not mad about it, but I prefer more classic names I guess.

goldenrachita · 14/02/2017 14:12

I think you have to choose something you like. But personally I really dislike it. Firstly because it's a surname (son of Jens) and secondly because I put it in the same bracket as names like Tyler and Mason, which are not my style, at all.

SuperBeagle · 14/02/2017 08:22

I prefer Benson. Smile

WiltingTulip · 14/02/2017 06:07

I love supernatural and think it's a fine name 😍

HeteronormativeHaybales · 14/02/2017 06:05

Sorry, awful. I'm another surname-name-hater and tbh it sounds a bit made up.

AmyInTheBoonies · 14/02/2017 06:04

I don't like it - I don't think it's got any character. Im not keen on any of the surname types names though.

Saying that, it's not awful. Just not the style of name I like.

Mol1628 · 14/02/2017 05:53

Don't like it. Also I think it is getting a bit overused but maybe that's just in my area.

Kmxxx14 · 14/02/2017 05:32

I'm not keen sorry.

Pemba · 14/02/2017 01:33

Best as a surname only.

Want2bSupermum · 14/02/2017 01:13

Please don't use Jensen - in Danish it means 'Son of Jens'. Unless of course you are the son of Jens.....

user1484539497 · 14/02/2017 01:13

I like it

reuset · 14/02/2017 01:11

I think it's ok

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/02/2017 00:56

I think it's horrible, but. Note the word "Think". Its only my opinion. Not a fact.

MiladyThesaurus · 13/02/2017 21:44

I like it too although I'd spell it Jensen.

I don't think surname when I see it at all, more Scandinavian.

It makes me think Ackles not Button too.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/02/2017 21:40

I like it, not over used.
