Jesse for a boy? I love it but finding myself over thinking names this time around so much! Worried people may mistake for a girls name?

I wouldn't I opened it thinking girls name.

Big Jessie is also used as an insult in certain parts of Scotland.

Yeh I'm aware of the "big Jessie" insult.. but I would say this is quite an old fashioned insult? Not sure it's relevant these days?

I love it, was on my list for boys.

Great boys name

I know several male Jesse's.

Jesse is definitely a male name, c'mon PP. There are scores of well-known Jesses.
I think it sounds rugged and masculine.
I really like it, it was on our list (had a DD instead).

I know Jesse to be a boys name, I really like it

Love it.

Love it. Similarly my friend had a boyfriend called Jess and it suited him so well, really strong and unique.

I would be more worried about him being called a ‘big Jessie’ than getting mistaken for a girl.

I really like it - it was on my boys list!
