So after all the Jacob posts nothing felt right..... The names just didnt feel right. And today I was reading about Jacob in the bible and it just put me off in all honestly.
We came across a name and it just feels right. The name is JENSON.
Middle name yet to be decided.
What do you all think?
Girls name is set 100% at Sofia Matilda. Sibling is Noah.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

It's a Scandinavian name??! It's not American or made up or just bits of other names put together Confused

I think Jenson is a great alternative to over-popular Joshua or Jacob. It's a fairly unusual name but it isn't difficult to pronounce or spell and sounds fresh. Go for it, I think it's great.

DontCallMeShitley · 07/07/2019 21:49

Jensen is awful, sorry, and as others have said, it is as bad as Jayden which really isn't a proper name, just bits of names but that's another thread.
Jacob is much better.

Working in a school I'd never call a child Jensen. Or Jay, or Jayden.

However Jacob is lovely and fits well with Noah.

Benjispruce · 07/07/2019 21:48

James? My fave but had 2 girls.

DramaAlpaca · 07/07/2019 21:46

Blimey, some snobby comments on here.

I like Jenson & think it goes nicely with Noah. Noah & Jacob together are too biblical for me.

MagneticSingularity · 07/07/2019 21:45

Not keen on either but Jacob if pushed.

Or how about Jason? It’s kind of a mix of the two.

Prettylittlelady · 07/07/2019 21:45

I much prefer Jacob, Jensen is ok but Jacob is a lovely classic yet still quite trendy name.

Benjispruce · 07/07/2019 21:42

Prefer Jacob. Jenson is a bit new fangled/American(unless you are in USA)

Thrupennybrit · 07/07/2019 21:31

I've no idea about negative connotations but please not if your name's Jennifer.

Cloudofsparrows · 07/07/2019 21:28

I know a young Aryton after Ayrton Senna, think Jenson could end up being Jen.

Carpetburns · 07/07/2019 21:25

Jenson. Poor kid. Horrible name. Jacob nicer and biblical like Noah.

HermioneMakepeace · 07/07/2019 21:24

Love Jenson! It's nice to hear something a bit different. Go for it OP!

Peachbubble · 07/07/2019 21:23

Jenson is awful. So many nicer names to choose from.

SoupDragon · 07/07/2019 21:23

Jacob is far superior to Jenson

C0untDucku1a · 07/07/2019 21:21

I think the description of Jenson is the new Wayne is the most accurate. Jacob is also very, very popular.

KTara · 07/07/2019 21:20

Never heard the name Jenson, I am afraid and I really do not like it - sorry.

Myotherusernameisshy · 07/07/2019 21:15

It doesn’t sound like it fits at all with your other name choices; it’s not a name I would suggest if you said you liked Noah, Sofia and Jacob at all.
I’m a F1 fan and think Jenson Button seems lovely. I know a little Jenson who is a nice enough boy. I’m sorry I still really dislike the name Jenson/Jensen. Your baby your choice though.

saraclara · 07/07/2019 21:10

Thank you all so much for your response. Theres been a real mixed bag a comments
There really haven't! At the point where you posted that, the haters of the name outweighed the lovers by 4:1!

Ginger1982 · 07/07/2019 21:06

Dunno why you bothered starting this thread except to post an inevitably smug response 🤷🏼‍♀️

glitterbiscuits · 07/07/2019 21:00

Not Jensen or Jenson.
People will judge.

saraclara · 07/07/2019 20:50

I really dislike Jenson. Since you asked.

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 07/07/2019 20:48

I like it.

IvanaPee · 07/07/2019 20:44

I think that if you were 100% sure then you shouldn’t have posted!

Not everyone was going to like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

RuthW · 07/07/2019 20:41

Hanson doesn't go with Noah. It's in a different class.
