Who are they? What do they look like and what is their personality?

Which one is best?
Humour me, I’m very bored and pregnant!

I know quite a few guys called Jesse, the name is fine, as long as you don't make the middle name James, it's crazy how many of them do!

I really like Jonah, and wanted it for DC2. It feels familiar/not widely out there, but not super popular either. Jesse strikes me as a bit American cowboy-esque. Else as a nickname for Jessica (spelt Jessie).

I used to really like Jesse, I see it as a surfer type name. I imagine long hair. I've kind of gone off it a bit now though.
Jonah has grown on me recently, and I possible like that more.

I had a cat called Jonah. After a character's pet fish in Home and Away decades ago!! If I had had a ds at that time he would have been Jonah!!

I like both but probably Jonah slightly more.

Not keen on Jonah
Know an adult Jesse who hates his name and he got called Big Jessie at school
