Jesse - thoughts?

[iggiemoo]

:)

I really like it. I know a little boy called Jesse, think he's 2 or 3 . I think maybe years ago it was more associated with the slang insult but it's becoming more popular as a name for a boy now.

Love it .. but had 3 girls instead , was the front runner for everyone of them if they had been boys .

Still get a bit sad that I will never use it

LOVE it

I disagree with @Goostacean , I think it's more Australian than American.
I like it though also had concerns about 'you big Jesse' but my Australian DH had never heard of that before

Love love love it! It's my front runner for a boy (find out the sex this week!).

I also have a Seth which I think it goes perfectly with.

I only know one Jesse and he's definitely over 25 and said he got a lot of teasing about his name.

I really like it but would worry about other people (older generation) referring to ‘big Jesse’.

Love it!!! Was on my shortlist!

I know a few Jessicas who are called Jessie.

I normally love biblical names but I really don't like Jesse.
I like that it's fairly unusual but it sounds so American to my ears.
It's a bit of a wet name to me and too feminine. I think he'd get teased especially if he grows up to be a bit sensitive and weak

I actually find Jess more masculine sounding than Jessie.

I don't love it because of the associations I'm afraid — Jesse James, or the sad Roberta Flack song! Having said that, if I were to meet your Jesse that would probably change because it would 'just' be his name if that makes sense.

I love the name. Takes me back to jesse james! Lol

Are u considering any other names , or would u like some
Suggestions, just in case any other name jumps out and takes
Your fancy

I do like it, but would worry about the 'you big Jesse' connection and would never use it. My DS would only have to be called it once and I'd never forgive myself.
