Thoughts on jesse jude for a boy

Really love both names.

Ignore anyone who says Jesse will be misgendered or incorrectly spelt..

But that's exactly why the op asked - to get honest opinions!

While I like the sound of the name Jude, it's the German word for Jew (and was written on holocaust stars) - personally I can't get past that association.

Not keen on Jesse as I think it will be confused with Jessie.

Love some other J names though - Jonah, Joel, Jack, Joseph.

This shows the Jude star.

It is here too in our part of the Country.

I love Jude.

also really like Jesse. I do think the only problem is it’ll get mistaken as the feminine Jessie a lot if you’re in the UK.

Much prefer Jude.

Not to keep going on about Jesse, but if you would still use it as an insult, what age are you?

I’m 30 and I don’t know anyone my age that would use it as an insult.

According to (www.dictionarycentral.com):
Jessie : noun a weak or effeminate man.
A Scottish and northern English term of ridicule which has become widespread since the mid-1970s, partly due to the influence of comics such as the Scot, Billy Connolly. It is synonymous with nellie and big girl’s blouse.
There are two proposed derivations for the word; the first is simply a borrowing of the female name as a term of endearment, the second is a Biblical reference to ‘a rod out of the stem of Jesse’, giving rise to jokes on the subject of masturbation, etc.
