I much prefer the name Jesse to some of the more outlandish or chavvy ones. It is a traditional biblical name.

Saw a woman in IKEA the other day with 'Chay-leigh' emblazoned on her upper back with a tattoo. I can't stand those sort of names.

I like Jesse. A Jesse won last night's Mastermind.

I Like Jesse for a girl but not a boy.
The first thing that comes to mind is my grandad saying "you big Jesse" to the boys in the family if they cried/moaned at something trivial. I can't help having visions of you having a big butch boy who plays rugby & you are standing on the side lines shouting"Jesse":rotfl:it just doesn't seem right!.But that is just my opinion & you asked for people to respond if they liked it or not!.
My Hub was so fussy when we where choosing i wanted an unusual name, every boy name i suggested was too sissy for him etc.
Have a few in your mind, we had two we AGREED on (despite the fact i had a huge list!)& the minute he was born we looked at each other & ruled one of the names straightaway as he just didn't look like one! it's funny how once they are in front of you your ideas change.

I'm still keeping an eye on this thread. We're still in the same position as we were with DS1, no name as yet and nothing agreed on at all!

We have a name which we think is okay, it's cute but not in any way original, which isn't necessarily a problem in itself, but I've always liked the thought of my children having a first name where you could reasonably guess that there won't be any others called the same in their class. I went to school with people who had very popular names and were forever being identified by their first names and last initial - there were lots of Kellys, Rachels, Craigs and Davids, for example. I just always knew I didn't want that to be the case for my kids - not that it matters in the scheme of things but hey!

I also adore another boys first name that I've loved for years and years, OH I think is warming to it more (I know he likes it) so I keep referring to baby bump as the name in question in the hope he'll get used to it!:D

FWIW OP I do like the name Jesse, I think prob more it's the connotations that other people might apply that could be a problem if you picked that name OP.

Jo_R- I know what you mean about peoples connotations.
My Friends little boy is called Seth & everyone says to her "oh as in Seth off Emmerdale Farm" it drives her crazy! we do live in Yorkshire though!:rotfl:

My SIL to be named her little boy Caleb.

No, not as in the twelve tribes of Israel, but as in the Sex on Fire singer! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I sure hope she doesn't have baby name regret.

Good link, thanks.

OP & Mrs OP - I like Jesse much more than a lot of the other names on the thread.
