Babies named for F1 driver Jenson Button

Jensen Button

According to the latest baby name rankings for England and Wales, the name Jenson shot up from 143rd in 2009 to 96th in 2010.

Jenson’s jump immediately reminded me of an article I read about a baby named Jenson Lewis. He was born in late 2009 to Trevor and Mandy Sutton of Coventry, England, and named after British Formula One drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.

Looks as though Jenson Button inspired many other expectant parents in the UK to opt for Jenson as well.

What do you think of the name?

Update, Aug. 1 – Just discovered another Jenson Button baby. This Jenson was born January 1, 2011, and is the son of Gemma Roberts and Michael Iles of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England.

Baby (almost) named after 20 soccer players

In late 1982, Trevor George of Penarth, Wales, registered his newborn daughter’s name as Jennifer Edson Arantes do Nascimento Jairzinho Rivelino Carlos-Alberto Paulo-Cesar Brietnar Cruyff Greaves Charlton Best Moore Ball Keegan Banks Gray Francis Brooking Curtis Toshack Law George. (Between Jennifer and George are the names of 20 of the world’s greatest soccer players.)

When his wife Lynette found out, she “sat down and cried, then went home to her mother and eventually had the child’s name changed to something more conventional” — Jennifer Anne George.

This was Trevor’s response:

I’m more angry about her changing the names than her leaving. She can stay where she is if that’s what she’s going to do.

I am very curious to know what became of this couple.
