| My cousin's 2 1/2 year old son is Jesse David Ryan.
I think it makes a neat girl's name, as well.

| I always thought "Jesse" was a boy's name, and
"Jessie" was short for Jessica.

| My girlfriend and her husband were going to name their baby
Jesse Alexander Preciado if it was a boy, but it was a girl
and she is Coleen Onyx Preciado. They were going with Jesse
instead of Jesus (the father is Mexican). I really like the
name Jesse for a boy. I am not too sure about it for a girl
I guess if it is short for something maybe.

| Jessie is used as a nickname, of course, for the oh-so-popular Jessica.
I still prefer Jesse (not as a nickname) for a girl, partly because
it's not so common.

| Jesse is another name I have on my list if I have a boy. I've
always liked this name and I feel that while it is still a bit
unusual, it's common enough so that a young boy wouldn't feel
out of place having it for a name. One other good thing about
this name (for me, that is) - it's the only one my husband
approves of so far.

| Hm, it looks like .5 is hung up, so ...
I would stick with Jesse for males and Jessie for females.
Why risk gender confusion when you have a fairly clear-cut
choice? And, no, you don't have to go with the full-blown
Jessica. There's nothing wrong with giving her Jessie as
her full first name.
By the way, Jesse Owens did a lot to re-popularize the name
(after Jesse James did a little damage to it). It's popularity
in the 70s probably had a lot to do with its old-fashioned
sound and the fact that it began with a "j" (to replace the
ever-popular James and John). Compare Joshua, Jonathan, etc.
It will be interesting to see how Jesse Jackson affects the use
of the name.

In a conversation about my "newborn-to-be", my mom mentioned to me that
Jessica is "a popular name these days."
It took her a full minute after I mentioned the nickname "Jesse" for
her to scream "OH NO, you don't want any outlaws in the family!"

| re: -1
Funny story... I was seriously considering James as a middle name
for Jesse and I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. I guess
I'm a bit slow these days :-)

| {JESSICA}
I like that name Jessica, I named my daughter Jessica and she now wants
to be called Jesse. I thought that it was just for a boy but guess
not.
I am new to the notes file, and I think this is great. I am pregnant
for my second child and will be looking for names hopefully boys names!

| re:-1
I believe the feminine form of Jesse is Jessie which is short
for Jessica.
