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

Ackles - yummy!

MiniAlphaBravo · 13/02/2017 21:03

Really don't like it. Sorry. Just think of jenson button. Not the worst thing in the world but feels like a celeb name to me so I don't like it for that reason.

QueenMortificado · 13/02/2017 21:04

Personally I don't like it, but I hate all the Sullivan / Jackson / Harrison surnames-for-first-name names and Jenson falls in to that for me

Kazzawazza69 · 13/02/2017 21:05

I really like it x

RedSauce · 13/02/2017 21:09

Jenson Button

Shockers · 13/02/2017 21:11

I know of a very sweet 7 yr old Jenson.

Starlight2345 · 13/02/2017 21:11

I love it...Please don't share names with anyone even on this site there will also be some who don't like any name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/02/2017 21:40

I like it, not over used.

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.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/02/2017 00:56

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

reuset · 14/02/2017 01:11

I think it's ok

user1484539497 · 14/02/2017 01:13

I like it

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.....

Pemba · 14/02/2017 01:33

Best as a surname only.

Kmxxx14 · 14/02/2017 05:32

I'm not keen sorry.

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.

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.

HeteronormativeHaybales · 14/02/2017 06:05

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

WiltingTulip · 14/02/2017 06:07

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

SuperBeagle · 14/02/2017 08:22

I prefer Benson. Smile

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.

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.

EweAreHere · 14/02/2017 17:03

I actually quite like it.

Only1scoop · 14/02/2017 17:04

Awful

Only1scoop · 14/02/2017 17:04

It's a surname
