I like Jesse the best it's lovely
I know a little boy with the name, he's so cool and name suits him! It's definitely not used as a girl name, just checked the official ONS statistics and over 66 (!) times more boys than girls were given this name. Virtually no girls given this name over past 25 years looking at the official statistics

Seth and Douglas - little Dougie.
I like Jesse but it’s too much of a girls name for me.

TheCrowening · 16/07/2021 11:53

Ethan for me

KirstenBlest · 16/07/2021 11:51

Douglas then Ethan. I don't like the others.

Enough4me · 16/07/2021 10:29

Ethan above Seth
Ethan Douglas

Biscuitsneeded · 16/07/2021 09:20

Thanks guys! Interesting such a split between them all. I agree with the slightly Lipsy ssseth issue.

Jesse is definitely a boy's name! But I take on board the insult, my other half mentioned that.

Not ace then🤣

I do like Douglas as baby Dougie and adult Doug. But a friend of ours has a dog called Doug haha! Like the middle name option.

I think it's between Jesse and Ethan so I'll see how things grow

Ethan then Jesse. Really not a fan of the others.

dappymonster · 16/07/2021 00:30

Jesse as in Jessie? When I was younger in Scotland wimps/cowards were called jessies. So I'm Really sorry but that's what i think of when I hear that name 😬

TheDaydreamBelievers · 16/07/2021 00:14

I like all 4 but not Ace

Ethan

MajorNeville · 16/07/2021 00:06

Jesse I'd my favourite, my ds would've been Jesse but it was ridiculous with my surname. After that is Seth. I f do not like any of the remaining 3.
