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?

Robson Green's father is called Robson Green

Another vote for Edward as the first name.

If not then Harrison

So he should be Robsonson?

I did not realise that Jenson is such a popular name nowadays!

I know about Jenson Button but I'm pretty certain his name is just a mis-spelling of Jensen.

I know a lovely teenage Jenson. Nice manners. Bright, sporty, teachers loved him.

ditto

Love Jenson

Jenson is awful, sounds like something off the Incredibles. Harrison also not great, what’s wrong with Edward?

Jenson. not keen on Harrison at all.

@TheBirdintheCave , why would it be a misspelling - the parents might have just liked it. His father's name is John, so it could be a modification on Johnson.
If I wanted to name my child Haris, it wouldn't necessarily be because I misspelt Harris.

@SkaneTos , Babies called Jenson in England & Wales since 1996 (darkgreener.com)

@DuchessOfSausage Either way etymologically it's still a surname, not a given name and - like I said - those are not to my taste but I understand that other people have different opinions on their usage. That is just mine.

Harrison is the better of the two.

I don't like surnames as first names either other than ones like Oliver, George, James, Henry type ones, @TheBirdintheCave . The occupation ones like Cooper and Archer are IMO awful.

Jenson Edward reminds me of Jedward (x factor)

I also don’t like either - Edward is okay though.

Hennessy or Jameson is all I see sorry 😂

There’s a family at school with four boys ending in -son. I was wondering yesterday if they all have different dads 🤔 (they don’t, I’m just being a snob. But the names are nonsensical)

I hear all sorts and think really? REALLY?
It's the ones the same as alcoholic drinks or the companies that sell them that leave me baffled.
I don't like surnames as first names but that's just personal preference.

Harrison if it has to be one of the two, but they are both awful!

I hate to say it but Harrison and Jensen are both a bit down market where I am.

Edward is lovely, classic, timeless and the nn Eddie is perfect for a little one and a teen.

I'll just agree with this post 👆

Harrison. Not keen on Jenson....

Just roll them together and have Jedward so no need to bother with a middle name.
Not a fan of surnames as first names.

Neither are nice names, tbh.

Can you say what initial the surname starts with as HE? or JE? could create unintended initials?

I like Jenson best 👌
