Jensen/ jenson

[Bubblemachiene]

I heared this name on the playground today
What are your thoughts

I heard it for the first time recently and really liked it for a boy

My experience is hell no.

It was popular in this area for a time, although most are almost high school age now.

Not something I’d pick, but not a bad name at all. Not common but not daft. Better than most of the boys names that seem to be popular on mn at the moment.

Jensen is a common surname in Denmark.

I'm not keen

My thought are it's a no from me.

Jenson Button is, I would imagine, responsible for the naming of a slew of children who would be about 11-12 now....

What are your thoughts OP? I’m not really sure why you’re asking? It’s just a name someone has called their child, it’s not rude or offensive.

Neither is my sons name. But when I enquired about it on mn I had 6 pages of people telling me how shit it is. It’s an old English name, been around before and officially registered since the 1800’s. Was in the top 100 in 2012 I think.
Op mn really doesn’t represent real life when it comes to baby names. Jensons fine

Because I'm pregnant but not going to choose a name until I know what I'm having. Still early days. Just thought I'd ask, as I'd never heared it before until recently. I kinda like it. Wanted unbiased opinions. @Krakenes

Jensen with two es is also the name of a classic sports car, beautiful looking cars.

It’s kind of a Jayden/Cayden/Brayden sibling name round here

It's the name of the bully at DS' school so definite no from me.
Its quite often seen as a 'naughty boys' name too.

Awful. Teachers will judge you it's a naughty boy name.

This

So no

Yes. It's a bit chavvy where I am...

Jensen Interceptor.
Jenson Button.

I was going to say that but you usually get jumped on here for saying that!

Yes. It's a bit chavvy where I am...

I also don't dare say this but have to agree.

If I met a little Jenson or Jensen, I'd assume it was a family surname being used as a first name - for example, perhaps it was the baby's mother's maiden surname and she changed her name at marriage, or perhaps it's the surname of one of the baby's grandmothers.

It was quite a common name for little boys in my DC's baby groups / toddler groups / nursery, although I don't hear it so much now (or indeed since they started at school) so not sure where all the little Jensons disappeared to. DC is 12.

Its quite popular round here (south east) and not chavvy. 2 i know well were born in 2020. One has a sibling called Ethan and one a sibling called Evie so gives you an idea of the vibe

@Greeneyegirl I have an ethan myself ☺️

I quite like it! Not a name I thought of but I think it's nice now I've heard it :)
