I just physically grimaced. Ugh. Why even.

[tabaqui]

I think even worse is attempting to turn a modern, English name into something 'old' or 'other'. So many horrible variations on 'Jensen'......

[(Anonymous)]

I think I actually hate it more when a writer tries to - shit, I don't know how to say it - un-modernise? a name, but the name is already one that's been around forever, so they just make nonsense. Like making 'Harry' into 'Harrius' or something, when 'Harry' is a variant of 'Henry' and that's been a name for like 15 centuries or so, so the actual latinate form would be 'Henricus'.

...I have way too many feelings about this.

[tabaqui]

HA, yes, totally get that and totally agree.

[meadowphoenix]

ooh yes it makes me cringe.

eta: although strictly speaking that wouldn't be a good name, that's absolutely not the latinate name or a latinate name at all its franco-german, you would just pick julius or publius, and let henricus be weirdo gens or even better a cognomen he got from defeating the goths or vikings or "germans" or some odd gauls if you absolutely must, there's really only like 10 latin first names......

Everyone is named Gaius, just roll with it guys.

Jensen is really a surname (son of Jen?) someone decided to use as a first name. In theory, it's probably older than it seems, so depending on when/where the story is set, you wouldn't have to change it.

[(Anonymous)]

Close! It's "son of Jens"

[tabaqui]

It is, yes, in Scandinavia. 'Son of Jens'. Still doesn't sound/work right in a lot of instances.
