Jesse

[Deeal]

Thoughts on Jesse for a boy? DH is pushing for it. I like it but know so many female Jessies/Jessis (often short for Jessica) that it kind of takes away the charm. I feel the same way about Jamie. Meeting too many people with a certain name makes it feel dull.

He’ll get taunted as Jessie in Toy Story

Nope

Why? It’s a completely different name.

Nonsense

I dont like it for boys or girls. Find it rather insipid

I love it.

But I had a soft spot for Jesse in Breaking Bad. (The actor not the character)

I have a Jesse who is a teen. I’ve always had nice comments about it.
Sometimes making appts it’s presumed he is a girl. But it’s not a big deal and I just have to reiterate ‘he, it’s the boys spelling’.
I grew up in the 80s when calling someone a Jessie was a thing, but it’s not a thing now in the SE. They have moved on to far worse I’m sure!

I loved the character too… he had the best character development and ultimately was the only decent one!

Ive come across more Jesses recently so think it’s taking off. I really like it.

I'm now singing Jessie's Girl in my head!

Maybe it's an age or location thing but I've never heard of Jesse as a insult.

Jesse (spelt that way) reminds me of the Biblical Jesse or Jesse James or Jesse from Breaking Bad. I like it and it has a carefree, rugged vibe from the American West.

Jessie (spelt that way) is a girls' name (though it's not especially popular for 2020s babies).

My cousin's 6ft 4 son is Jesse and he's certainly not wet or feeble
