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.

Jenson means: Jenson is an English language patronymic surname meaning "son of Jens". The prefix "Jens-" is a German and Danish surname. Jenson is rarely used as a given name. There are alternate spellings, including the Danish variant, also nearly teddy Sutton's nameJensen.

I'm not keen on it, has no substance in my opinion.

What was wrong with Jacob in the Bible? He made a mistake as a young man but he paid for it and became an upright man.

His son Joseph (of the coat of many colours) was good too. I like Joseph as a name.

Joseph jo for short is fab and a trillion times better than Jensen

I think Noah and Jacob as siblings is a bit too biblical tbf. Unless you are very religious, in which case go for it

I know a 5 year old Jenson and he's a lovely little boy. While it's not too my taste, I think it's a decent name and sounds good with Noah

Jacob is much nicer than Jenson!

When I read "Sofia Matilda", my brain converts it to "mafia" for some reason.

CheerfulPotato · 08/07/2019 08:27

Well you asked so..... love Jacob, don’t like Jenson.

Namechangedonceagain · 08/07/2019 12:15

Sorry OP. I also think Jenson is a bit chavvy. In my mind Jenson's siblings should be called Lexi-mai and Kaiden, not Noah.

AverageMummy · 08/07/2019 12:32

Jenson is awful I’m sorry - sounds like Jayden / Mckenzie & co

Snowy81 · 08/07/2019 13:12

I don’t like Jacob, but it’s way better than Jenson. If you want a ‘son’ name:- Grayson, Emerson, Jackson, Leason, Mason, Addison, Benson, Coleson, Davison, Harrison, Nelson, Nielsen, Peterson, Williamson, Brayson, Carlson, Jameson, Michaelson, Carson, Cayson, Christofferson, Dawson, Ericsson, Henson, Henderson, Garettson, Hudson, Jason, Jaimison, Jefferson, Johnson, Madison, Reason, Richardson, Samson, Vinson, Wilson.

My personal favourite:- Farquharson

@heartoftheocean if you like a name the worst thing you can do it post it on MN!! Jenson to me in a posh name but I'm from up north so probably a bit chavvy 😁

Its lovely and different x
