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.

I love jenson. So much nicer than Jacob. There are SO many Jacobs/jakes

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 07/07/2019 18:38

Another Jenson hater I’m afraid. I think it’s going to be very easy to pin point the era these boys were born in. It’s the Wayne of its generation.

I’m not keen, sorry.
But go with what you like and sod everybody else!

I know a little Jenson- he’s cute as a button (no pun intended!).

Alloftit · 07/07/2019 18:36

I really don’t like Jenson to be honest, it’s overused and doesn’t flow nicely to my ear. Judging by your other name choices tho, we have very different tastes and in all honesty, does it matter what anyone else thinks? If you like it tho, go for it.

Not keen I’m afraid. Jacob lovely and timeless. Jenson IMO isn’t.

kirkandpetal · 07/07/2019 18:35

Not a fan, sorry. I don't much like Jacob either, but prefer that the Jenson.

Like Sofia Matilda

But!!!! Your baby, your choice. You will always come up against lovers and haters of a name so will never win. Go with what YOU love.

Disfordarkchocolate · 07/07/2019 18:35

Well, I love Jenson Button but to me, I still think car. However, I like the name and I think lots of people younger than will just think Jenson Button. I always pick names for their meaning so I'd only have used it if Daddy was called Jens. Just pick what you love.

Everythingmagnolia · 07/07/2019 18:34

Prefer Jacob to Jenson by a mile

Nonnymum · 07/07/2019 18:33

I think Jacob is much nicer than Jensen. But it's your baby so your choice Sofia matilda is lovely.
