When you hear the name Jesse...

[Grimmfebruary]

Too American? Assume it's a girl?

Can't make my mind up and dp loves it.

Love it for a boy but we had 2 J names already!!

I think Breaking Bad.

I think breaking bad too 😫😂

If I hear it I think girl. Seeing it written like that I'd think boy.

I hear that song by joshua whatsisname

It's a nice song

I thought Jesse Pinkman too!
However, if you love it get it used. You’ll start associating it with your child in no time and so will everyone else

Dp really likes it and it goes well with his last name, I just can't get the 'oh I thought it was a girls name' out my head! It makes me think of cowboys!
Maybe I'll come round on it haha!

The only Jessie's I know re male and in their teens and twenty's now.

I'm going to have Rick Springfield's 'Jessie's girl' in my head all day now!

It’s my DP’s favourite boys name. I really really like it. Definitely a boy. And it also makes me think Breaking Bad!

Sorry. No help at all.

I know a Jessica nicknamed Jess or Jessy. So girl for me.

Love the name Jesse for a boy but we have a close friend who used it for her little boy
Think it's an amazing name!

I love it so would assume boy but I wouldn't use it around here as it's used as a mild rebuke when you have done something stupid "What a Jesse!", "You Jesse!" etc

Also I feel like it’s a nickname not a full name. Even tho I do like it.

'Ya big Jessie' I'm from Scotland, if that adds any perspective.

I'm surprised it's getting such a positive reaction, I was expecting a much more negative view on it.

I might come round to it. I do like it, I just find it to be a bit more on the 'unusual' side for where we are. I don't know any Jesses at all!

I love Jesse for a boy! It would be on my list for dc2, due in January, but like the op, my Dh thinks of it as a girl name and has vetoed .

I like it, it makes me think of cowboys.

Bernard I'm due February! We have no short list, despite know since September we were having a boy!
Dp has what I would an usual taste in names whereas I prefer more classic, traditional ones! 😂

Ah cool! See you on the labour ward !

I know a couple of boy Jesse's and a few girl Jessie's (short for Jessica) so it's not wildly unusual.

I know lots of Jessica's with all the nicknames that go with it, just no Jesse's! Luckily we aren't in Scotland so it's not really an insult round here haha.

Jesse sounds like a cute nickname for Jessica - Jess, Jessie.

It doesn’t sound masculine to my ears

I think surfer dude with floppy hair. I'm kiwi and know a couple of kiwi/ausie guys called Jesse and they all have floppy shoulderish length hair.
