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

Everythingmagnolia · 07/07/2019 18:34

Prefer Jacob to Jenson by a mile

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.

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.

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

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.

Shockers · 07/07/2019 18:37

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

urbanmist · 07/07/2019 18:38

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

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.

Kenworthington · 07/07/2019 18:38

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

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

MitziK · 07/07/2019 18:39

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

DaisiesAreOurSilver · 07/07/2019 18:39

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

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.

PrimeraVez · 07/07/2019 18:41

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

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.

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.

Rainycloudyday · 07/07/2019 18:42

Judgey, not judged!

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.

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

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 sayHmm

maryberryslayers · 07/07/2019 18:46

Jacob is lovely and works well with Noah.

Jenson is awful, very chavy imo.

FenellaMaxwell · 07/07/2019 18:46

Jacob is so much better than Jensen!

Fortheloveofscience · 07/07/2019 18:46

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

NapsAndTea · 07/07/2019 18:47

I love the name Jenson.
