Jesse for a boy

[Kittycat24]

Always liked this name. What do you think?
Any ideas which middle names sound good with it?

Love it. Bit underused so good to get in quick before it becomes more popular
Jesse Nathan
Jesse Reuben
Jesse Jerome
But if you have family names you’d like to use I think that’s best for a middle name

Like it!

@SirChenjins

‘You big Jessie’ is still very much alive and well here in Scotland - it’s very definitely not a cool, edgy name for a boy. It might be different in other parts of the UK though - regional differences etc.

Agreed - it’s definitely not a name to use for a boy in Scotland.

Jesse Frederick
Jesse Christopher
Jesse Nathaniel (my favourite!)
Jesse Sebastian
Jesse Alexander
Jesse Benjamin
Jesse Matthias

I like it. I think of Jesse James as well as surfer dude types. Does anyone under 60 use the phrase 'big jessie'?

I've never heard anyone under the age of 60, or with an IQ above 60 using it.

Does anyone under 60 use the phrase 'big jessie'?

Yes apparently so, especially in Scotland

Yep - and you might be surprised to know that those regional differences doesn't equate to an IQ of below 60.

Love it! Very cool name.
Only ever known male Jesses. Jessicas tend to be Jess in my experience.

Yes, loads of people in Scotland.

Regional differences aren’t age-dependant.

That's a shame. Doesn't seem like something to be proud of, that homophobic slurs are used by Scots of all ages.

I don’t recall anyone saying that it was a phrase that anyone was proud of using. Perhaps you could point us to that post?

Think of it in the same way as calling your child other terms which are not particularly desirable - like Dick, or Chav, or Wally.

Who said they were 'proud' that 'big Jesse' was a term commonly used in Scotland

Well SirChenjin seemed offended at someone saying only those with an IQ below 60 would use 'you big jessie' as a slur. Defending the intelligence of homophobes seems a bit weird.

I realise that you’re attempting to deflect the question, but can you point to the post/s which said they were proud of the term?

And no, I can assure I was not ‘offended’.

Beautiful name

So why defend the intelligence of homophobes?

You've made your point: Jesse is an unwise name to choose for a boy as very intelligent people of all ages in Scotland use it as a slur.

I love it and wish I'd chosen it for DS1!

I’m sure that Scotland, as with other parts of the UK, is comprised of people with a wide range of IQ levels who use all kinds of terms to describe others, some of which are highly questionable.

I love it but I'm biased because it's my gorgeous grandsons name 😄

I know two males called Jesse

I love it!

Ooooh love!!!!

I love Jesse

My brother had a very handsome friend called Jesse in my 20s that I admired from afar!

Jesse Roman
Jesse Felix
Jesse Johnathan

It's my little boys name. Go for it ☺️
