Boy Names, complicated?

Question

What do you think of these names and what kind of people do you assosicate them with (inteligent, country, redneck, etc.)

Spencer Lee (nickname: Spen)
Jasper James (nickname: JJ)
Jenson Andrew (nickname: Sonny)

my name is jenna ann, so jenson andrew is kinda a form of that. as for the nicknames, i realized that i should just stay with their real names, although i still do like jj for jasper james

Answer 1

Spencer Lee (nickname: Spen)
*** On first name alone, Spencer seems more WASPY. Upper middle-class, well educated ... that sort of family. I prefer the shortening Spenc(e), personally. Spencer Lee, in full, reminds me of Harper Lee -- which isn't bad ;) -- but I'm not actually fond of Lee. It's a family name for me (used for BOTH genders), and no one that has it seems to care for it much. LOL Just a personal association, I suppose.

Jasper James (nickname: JJ)
*** Again, based on first name alone, Jasper comes across as intelligent, upper class, well educated and even a bit British (quite common there). Jasper James, nicknamed JJ, however, takes the name from upper-crust British to lower-class Brit-brit. LOL Overly alliterative, common and predictable -- which is odd, for such an intriguing first name choice! -- very much akin to Ms. Spears' own recent "Jayden James" name fiasco (still so fresh in many people's minds). Just far too cliche and lower class for my taste, though Jasper itself if my absolute favorite name listed here!

Jenson Andrew (nickname: Sonny)
*** Jenson is too "brand-name" for me, and the -on/An- portion a bit repetitive for my taste. If I met a little Jenson, however, I'd find it a fine, if not all that interesting, choice. No assumptions or preconceived notions, if you know what I mean.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Jasper is great, but I wouldn't bother with the nickname JJ. Jasper is the kind of quirky name that affluent, highly educated parents are choosing these days. Plus it has an artistic edge, thanks to Jasper Johns. I'd use it without hesitation.

Spencer, on the other hand, is the kind of name that upwardly mobile parents used 30 years ago. Today it has a rather downmarket feel. And Spen as a nickname? It doesn't work for me.

As for Jenson, I'm not sure what to say. If it's a family name, okay. Otherwise, it just doesn't have much appeal. And Sonny, as a nickname? I don't think that's ever been a very appealing choice.

Answer 3

Spencer Lee (nickname: Spen)
Jasper James (nickname: JJ)
Jenson Andrew (nickname: Sonny)

Spencer Lee - not too bad - I like this best, get rid of the nick names
Jasper James - reminds me of General Hospital (Jasper Jax)
Jenson Andrew - seems like it is a last name first (don't know where you got the nick name from)

Answer 4

For the names, I like Spencer Lee. But would like Spencer James even better. I think Spencer James sounds stronger and more intelligent than Spencer Lee (which makes me think farmer in a way). But it is my favorite. I give Spencer Lee a 6 and Spencer James a 9.5. I don't like Jasper at all, it reminds me of 101 Dalmatians. And JJ is a silly nickname for when they get older. I think it sounds like someone stupid and uneducated. Jenson is not a bad name and Jenson Andrew is nice...why would you call him Sonny? That is a dumb name to me. It makes me think hillbilly or 'trailer park' instead of a nice and regal name. Jenson is good on its own.

Answer 5

I like Spencer Lee, although I call my son Spenc not Spen. It reminds me of a energetic young boy, but who can focus when required.

Jasper James. Is alright but the JJ that i grew up with was really lazy and completely sucked at school.

Jenson Andrew, I think you should make Andrew the first name, more common and I dont think a boy would want to be called Sonny. You could call him Andy or Drew

Answer 6

Spencer Lee- very cute how about having the nickname of Spence instead.

Jasper James- its alright

Jenson Andrew- cute and sophisticated though i dont like the nickname. If you were to go with Andrew Jensen though then a cute nickname could be A.J.

Answer 7

Jenson Andrew

Answer 8

OK, here it goes! I love trying to picture the "future"person just from a name. I always think kids do grow into their names!

Spencer Lee: It's ok. But I picture him to be a shorter guy with freckles and a cute little-boy smile that stays with him even after he grows older. I'd say he's a future lawyer or doctor.

Jasper James: I picture a tall blond (and yes, maybe like everyone else, I'm picturing the guy from General Hospital!); But the name sounds like a really tall, good-looking guy who's really out-going, friendly, and gets all the girls!!!!!!!!!!!!! Future occupation? I'd say definitely Sports agent or a film producer!!!!!!!!! Something kinda flashy, but dealing with people.

Jenson Andrew (Definitely my favorite of the three, especially since the name would be coming from your own! That makes it special!): I think it's a strong name. I'm picturing someone tall, dark and handsome. He's the star athlete in high school who's both good looking and smart, but has a very serious nature! Future occupation: I'd say the name has "C.E.O." written all over it!!!!!!!!!!!! He'll probably be a self-made billionaire and go jet setting all over the world!

OK, my imagination's gotten the best of me again!

But all the best to you!

Answer 9

Spencer Lee a ATHLETE
Jasper James -lawyer
Jenson Andrew-Lawyer

Answer 10

Spencer Lee---I don't really like this one.
Jasper James-Jasper is a place in Alabama. Jasper James sounds like a porn star to me
Jenson Andrew- Well I think all of these names would sound better if they were reversed.

Some combinations of the names I like better:
James Jenson
Andrew Lee
James Spencer
Andrew Jasper---I like this best

It is your child so name him what you want :-)
