Harrison or Jenson?

[Jp1996]

We have a bit of a family theme going on with middle the name so would like to keep the tradition going with the middle name of Edward but we’re torn on the first name, the two we really like are Harrison Edward and Jenson Edward, thoughts?

Harrison.

Our school is full of Jensons (well 3 but it’s a small school) and they are all trouble makers and come from unpleasant families.

Harrison is my favourite.

Can you not use Edward as a first name - it's the nicest option of the three!

Harrison

Harrison I guess

Jenson is really awful (sorry to be blunt) and has the rep described by the PP.

Edward is great - I’d use that

Harrison if it must be between the two.
But I agree classic Edward is so much nicer - all I see with Harrison is Harry’s Son, Jenson is John’s Son etc. They are very trendy and make no sense to me anyway if the Dad isn’t called Henry/Harry or John 🤣

Edward.
Jenson sounds like Jedward
Harrison sounds like a surname. And Harry’s son as a PP remarked.
Edward is lovely and underused. Ed, Eddie,

Def ditch Jenson. Edward is lovely.

Well that works. What is dad's name? Just add 'son' and Bob's your Uncle. Hopefully not your Daddy because Bobson is silly.

I know it isn't what you asked, but another who prefers Edward out of the 3 names you've mentioned.

Edward as the first name and one of the others as a middle name. Harrison and Jenson both have a negative image.

Harrison 10000% for me (to other posters if you read the post Edward will be there regardless) unless I’ve miss read xx

Harrison and jenson both have that reputation near me!

Edward is lovely.
The others not so much. They have connotations round here.

Edward Harrison would be my vote.
Otherwise Harrison Edward

Jenson

Harrison all day long love it x

This.
Jenson is really awful (sorry to be blunt) and has the rep described by the PP.
This and Jenson will be Jens.

Your previous thread says pretty much the same as this thread.
Stuck on a name! | Mumsnet

Harrison definitely.

Edward is lovely but the other two are not.

Firstly, it's Jensen and not Jenson as the surname is Danish so if you're going to pick it, please at least spell it correctly as per its origins 😅

Secondly, I agree with the other posters that Edward is better as a first name. My reasoning for this is because it's actually a given name and the other two options are surnames (and if your husband isn't called Henry/Harry or Jens then it's a bit weird!) but I appreciate not everyone thinks that's an important distinction.

@TheBirdintheCave , Jenson is a first name popularised by Jenson Button.

Jenson is lovely, Jenson Edward sounds perfect, not so keen on Harrison

Same for us!
I also don't really think either name go with Edward as a middle name as they are totally different styles.

I'd personally choose something that goes better with Edward such as:

Thomas
Matthew
George
William
Andrew
Joseph

Etc etc!

Bobson would be funny 🤣 but Robson (Robert’s Son) like the actor Robson Green might be useable I suppose. Jackson, Jameson, Hudson(Hugh’s Son), Thomson, Davison… so many Sons!
