Secretly like this name - had a close friend that died when we were in jr. high and his name was Jensen Heath (fn, mn). I don't know, I've always kind of kept it in the back of my head. But I know it's surnamey - though I am not familiar with it as a last name. Is it too...blah? And if you like it, any mn suggestions for me??? :DLori

I personally don't care for it, but if it's honoring someone that's cool.

I don't think any name is too "blah." Each name is special. Jensen isn't masculine to me because of the Jen- element, but it isn't feminine because of the -sen element. I would say only use it as a middle name, since it has special meaning to you. Anyway, if for a boy, then I suggest Jensen Robert.

I used to know a little boy with this name (his sisters were Sommah and Kayla and they had another brother whose name has been lost in my brain for years!). Unfortunately I've always associated it with the trendy-bordering-on-trashy names of his sisters, and with their fairly trashy family in general. Objectively, however, it isn't bad. It's nms but since it has meaning for you there's nothing wrong with it. It's the Scandinavian form of Johnson, in case you were wondering about the meaning.:-)

Ahh. Jensen. The #1 most ordinary last name in Denmark.That's why I could NEVER think of it as a first name. But it's okay, I guess, to use it in other countries. Back here in Denmark, you'd get an odd look, if you name a kid Jensen. And it's boring nontheless.It's prn YEN-sen btw. The 'sen' as 'zen', if it gives any meaning?- Charlie

It's okay, just prn it as you like it. I just pointed it out, in case you wanted to prn it the Danish way.The meaning is "Jens søn" (Son of Jens), if you didn't know that.- Charlie

Hmm...don't like that pronunciation. It's not common AT ALL in the US. It hasn't been in the top 1000 baby names since the year 2000. And in 2000 it was ranked 988. So...

I think it sounds kinda cool... also think Jensen Heath has a nice flow. Looks better as Jenson, imho...
Jensen Reid, maybe--think it would be best with one-syllable mn

If I were to ever use the name Jensen, the last name would be Reed...Jensen Reid Reed...hahaha...probably not :)It's sad...I really like Reid as a middle name

Oh...sorry, I know what you mean. That... would be a bit awkward. Jensen Parker? I know it's two syllables but it doesn't sound all that bad

Hmm...I don't know about Parker. A little trendy? I think Jensen is a bit "trendy" though not popular. I think I'd need a more traditional/classic mn to offset the Jensen.

Jensen Heath is really nice. Would you consider using Heath instead of Jensen? Now I can't remember if you'd use Jensen as fn or mn... I'm on a roll today.Ummm... more traditional and classic names.Jensen Alexander - if Reed is last name could get away with longer surname.
Jensen Daniel
Jensen John - argh realise double letter.. uhh move on...
Jensen Geoff - not Jeff as see above! or Jensen Geoffrey.
Jensen Ronald
Jensen Ernest
Jensen George
Jensen Peter
Jensen Thomas
Jensen Stephen - Jensen Steven - a bit -n -n.

Jensen Steele - ok so Steele is pretty much only alive in my family...
