Jesse for boy

[Whoknewitcouldbeso]

What say you, yay or nay?

Apparently it's biblical and means gift. I know it can mean coward in Scotland but we are in England so I don't think it would attract much teasing here.

Jess as nn. Surname would be Svll.

Thanks 💐

Yes, its fine.

I think its very feminine

I'm in Scotland so immediately think the negative here of him being called a 'wee Jessie' Even in England, I wouldn't do it - what if he eventually moves to Scotland (for study or work etc).

I teach a Jesse. He hates it as everyone asks him why he has a girl's name. Personally I think it's a bit too cutesy

I love it.

I like it, and think it's quite a strong name rather than cutesy or feminine

I know a 10 year old Jesse who is super cool and no one teases him... I think it's fine in the UK!

Oh gosh. I've gone off of it and now DP loves it!!

We have Louis, Nicholas, Christian, Dominic, Joshua and Jesse and I don't love why of them 😤

*any

I really like it.
We can't use it because I have a niece Jessica who gets called Jess but I would otherwise.

I love it, but I wouldn't use it because I do think it would make a less than 100% confident child a target for bullying.

I love Nicholas and Dominic from your list.

I like Nicholas, Christian and Joshua.

We think we are going to go with Joshua 😜. It's pretty high in the top
100 but it's really the only name we both really like.

Congratulations!

Joshua is a very nice name.

For what it's worth, I think Jesse is a great name. I know two in their late teens/early twenties and it's never been a problem for them, they love their names.

Joshua's are yen a penny. Be a little original and go with Jesse.

I think of it as a strong male name as well.

I like all of your list except Joshua.

Joshua's aren't ten a penny round here - it all depends on where you live in the UK as to how common a particular name is. I love all of the other names from the list, but Jesse is awful imo - and even worse because we live in Scotland.
