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.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Jacob is the better of the two and goes much better with Noah. I’m not a fan of Jenson.

ZenNudist · 07/07/2019 19:04

prefer Jacob. Goes better with Noah.

Jenson seems chavvy (unpopular term on mumsnet). Up there with Jayden.

How about Jonah? (Biblical J name), or James nn Jim.

Matilda Sofia lovely.

Jenson Button
Jenson Ackles

I like it!

WouldHAVEcouldHAVEshouldHAVE · 07/07/2019 18:59

How about a mash of the two- Jason!

MikeUniformMike · 07/07/2019 18:59

Jenson will be Jens. It's a bit downmarket.

Bagadverts · 07/07/2019 18:57

I don’t like Jenson much, prefer Jacob. However if you have both found “the one” stop asking anyone else what they think.

ivartheboneless · 07/07/2019 18:54

I love the name Jenson 🥰

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/07/2019 18:54

I've just saw on your other thread that you like Ruben. Reuben (Ruben) is gorgeous.

Ginger1982 · 07/07/2019 18:53

Jacob goes better with Noah. Jenson wouldn't be my choice.

Ozziewozzie · 07/07/2019 18:50

Big thumbs up for me for Jenson. In my opinion I much prefer it to Jacob.

NapsAndTea · 07/07/2019 18:47

I love the name Jenson.

Fortheloveofscience · 07/07/2019 18:46

I don’t know any Jenson’s and actually really like it .

FenellaMaxwell · 07/07/2019 18:46

Jacob is so much better than Jensen!

maryberryslayers · 07/07/2019 18:46

Jacob is lovely and works well with Noah.

Jenson is awful, very chavy imo.

BlueMerchant · 07/07/2019 18:45

Jenson doesn't go well with Noah imo.
I actually would put Jenson in the Kayden style name bracket. I don't think it's a classic shall I say

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/07/2019 18:44

I think Jenson is one if those Marmite type names. People will either love or hate it. I'd be surprised if you get any "its just okay", comments

tabbiemoo · 07/07/2019 18:44

Jenson is ok but is very trendy and “of the moment”. Not keen on Jacob either to be fair.
I prefer Jude, Jago, James and Jonathan.

Rainycloudyday · 07/07/2019 18:42

Judgey, not judged!

Rainycloudyday · 07/07/2019 18:42

I’m sorry but I agree with PP that Jenson is generally a whispers chavvy name. I know we’re not supposed to say that because it’s judged but if you want to honestly know a lot of people’s thoughts that they will be too polite to say, that’s it. So many other much nicer names out there.

NoHummus · 07/07/2019 18:41

Agree that Jacob is much nicer than Jenson. Noah, Sofia and Jacob are all lovely, classic names. Jenson...isn't.

PrimeraVez · 07/07/2019 18:41

Jacob is a classic. And er, Jenson most definitely is not. BUT your baby, your choice!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/07/2019 18:41

I can't abide it. That and Jayden are the 2 worse boys names, ever. In my opinion. I don't particularly like Jacob, but its much nicer. Again in my opinion its not only do I dare say 'chavvy'. Its a also a tad feminine. I mean what nn would he use, if he wanted one, Jen?.
However note the words 'in my 'opinion'. Fact is one thing. Opinion is another, and Why would you care what "Awwlook" from mums net thinks. Plus you mightn't like my dcs name and planned names. The world wouldn't go around if we all liked the same things, would it.
Sorry if I sound harsh. Its the name I'm putting down, not you.

DaisiesAreOurSilver · 07/07/2019 18:39

Jacob is classic. Jenson is a bit chav, imo. At least it is around here.

MitziK · 07/07/2019 18:39

I prefer Jacob and Matilda Sofia. But that's just my opinion.

Spiceupyourlife · 07/07/2019 18:39

Sorry but not a fan of Jenson, it sounds like the names that come out of bad reality TV
