To change by babies name

[Tonamechange]

Name change for this as possibly outing

My 10 week old baby boy is called Jesse. I like it but recently many people have been asking whether it’s a girl or boy. Although I don’t mind this, he may as he gets older and I don’t want to make life hard for him.

Should I change it now?

YANBU: Jesse
YABU: change name

I love the name. If I had a boy now it would be in my top 2

Jesse was in my top three boys names. I love it. There’s a song by Carly Simon about Jesse.
I know an adult Jesse with long hair and he is supercool.

Jesse is lovely and makes me think of Jesse Williams who is very manly (and gorgeous)

Keep it. I love it! This will only be a short term 'probelm'. As a baby my DD could be head to toe in pink and was sometimes still referred to as he. It never bothered me and she certainly doesn't look like a boy at 4 (if she ever did).

Once he is older it won’t make a difference
My teen son has the same name and everyone knows his a boy now :)

I love the name Jesse! DH vetoed it though before we found out we were having girls. 😫

I love the name Jesse. It was on my boys name list.

I think it's lovely!

I know several older Jesses.

They really don;t get any hassle with the name.

Don't forget that this can apply to dozens of names that could be male or female. It is just a clarification question. And when they see it written down, they won't even need that

People used to ask if my two DSs were boys or girls too in the early days. Neither has a unisex name.

Keep it unless you feel strongly otherwise.

When I was a child calling a boy a Jessie was saying he was like a girl (not a compliment in primary school). It might toughen him up though, like A Boy named Sue.

Just ignore. So many names are unisex... Bailey, Evelyn, Jaime, Morgan, Jackie... the list is endless.
Don't worry about it , just say that your child is a boy or a girl. No worries.

There are two Jesses in my son’s school, I really like it.

It is a really pretty name, as he gets older noone will mistake him for a girl. If you like the name otherwise I would keep it.

My 10 week old DD has a gender neutral name that is more commonly used with boys & has been called 'he' a good few times. Doesn't bother me at all, I just say "oh, she's a girl!" & we move along, all good :)

I love it! Although I'm slightly annoyed because it's getting popular and it's been on my boys names list since I was a teen fangirl of Jesse Lacey

I think "Jesse" is always male, although when you say it outloud people could think you are saying "Jessie"

I love it for a boy, not so much for a girl.

Ooh my DD was going to be Jesse or Elijah if she was a DS. Love the name. Keep it. My son's name shortens to a unisex name and he's got long hair, he was often called she - who cares? It's not people who know you.

You do know that there are 2 names?

Jessie (usually short for Jessica)
and Jesse (always a boys name)

I know that it used to be an insult to call someone a big Jessie, but that is old. And nothing at all like a boy names Sue, because well, jesse is a boys name!

I know a Jesse who’s in his twenty’s. He’s very cool and a lovely person. Glad you are keeping it.

I know 2 primary school aged boys called Jesse and think its lovely.

My girl cats called Jessie 😆

Going against the grain here, but I don't like it at all and would change it in a heartbeat.
