[Opinions] Jensen?
I know a family who has named their baby girl Jensen - what do you think?

Jensen? A Girl? Oh man... It's not funny!
I have Jensen for a boy. LOVE IT ONLY on a BOY.
Too masculine for my taste. A few girls where I live are named this.

*blushes* I think I'm the only one who likes it! I recently read a book in which the mother was named Jensen.

No, not my style at all. I bet it's prounced with a 'j' so Jennie can be used as a nn (like Emmie for Emerson, Maddie for Madison, Addie for Addison). What next Kateson nn Katie, Ellson nn Ellie?

I think it would be cute for a boy, but not a girl.
Terrible
Jensen is a very common Danish surname, meaning "Jens' son". It sounds really ugly and unfeminine in my ears. I don't understand this American fondness of surnames as fn.
But I guess it is only logical, since also Madison, Addison, Emerson etc. are considered as fn.
If names are just letters and sounds, then Jensen SOUNDS ok.

I sometimes really want to whack these parents upside their heads! It's a surname, and if it *must* be used, then it should only be used for a boy. If it's a family surname, then I'd only prefer it as a middle name for a boy or a girl then (and only for a girl if it's a family surname).

They might just as well have named her "Johnson"..
So, they named their baby girl after the most common danish surname, which means "Son of Jens"? I feel sorry for this poor, defenceless child. I can't come to think of anyone I know (Danes), who wouldn't find this first name extremly ridiculous.
It may be a rude prejudice, but Jensen on a girl looks kind of illiterate to me. On the other hand I think I could accept the name if it had been on a boy. What bothers me most is the, to me, very obvious wrong usage of the name.
If her parents thought naming her "Jensen" would make her special, they're wrong. Jensen is a very boring name ..

I know a five year old, really, really blonde haired little girl named Jensen. I dont know if I would ever use it, but it is okay I guess. Jensen Olivia seems to really stand out in my mind.

For a girl, it's icky - it's a surname, it means Son of Jens, and I bet they're not pronouncing it properly either!
All in all, NO.

That's because it *is* Johnson, if you're in Scandinavia.

Don't like it at all. Just not my style. Sounds way too much like a surname and I really don't like it for a girl. When I read it I thought it was going to be for a boy.
I think it's a surname, and as a first name for a girl I think it is dreadful. It just sounds wrong to me.
I don't like it :(
