DH has just told me he likes the name Jess for a boy, I sort of like it but am undecided. We like the name Isla for a girl.
We already have two children a dd and a ds not pregnant yet but we are thinking about ttc no3 soon, we like to get names sorted first!

I wouldn't personally choose it.

Noddy ds1 has an unusual name too and so far so good on the bullying front. He's 7. I guess we'll have to wait and see how Jesse gets on but fingers crossed!

My ds is Jesse he is 19 and so far never bullied or even commented on. I always hide jesse threads though before the provincial crew turn up and accuse parents who use it of enticing bullying!

I love the name Jesse but not Jes as a full name.

DH didn't like Jesse Sad

Love it, always have. It's a dudes name, I think of gorgeous blonde surfer types with the name Jess, but I would go for Jesse.

I wud think of the bullying a spect

I'm not keen. I prefer Jesse but even that I'm so so on

I like the name Jesse but it does have a high teasing potential. I had a bit of a crush on one at Uni but he was manly enough to carry off a girl's name, I imagine it wasn't much fun at primary school

My ds is called Jesse so not dissimilar. He gets called jess for short sometimes. If you like it, go for it! :)
