Where I live, it's only used by extremely fundamentalist Christians, and not many of them. A colleague once had twins, Jesse and Elizabeth, and until she put us right we all assumed that they were both daughters, Jessica and Elizabeth.

I don't find the Tree of Jesse attractive - too phallic for my simple tastes.

But I am aware that in other parts of the planet it's pretty mainstream. And the only American Jesse I've met is a very fine person.

I also LOVE this name, but couldn't use it, as my younger brother's fiancé is Jessica. It is a handsome name though and some friends of ours just named their son Jesse a couple of months ago.

I like Jesse. It's a friendly, boy-next-door type of name to me.

It's good/okay. The first time I met a Jesse I thought it was weird, because I thought of the "Jessie" sound as a girls name only. Now I'm used to it for boys too though. It may be a little dated but I wouldn't find it weird to see on a baby or little kid.

I love it! I picturing it working on a million different "types" of people - Old, young, hip, nerdy, brash, shy, you name it. And I love that it's an old name but still very current sounding

I really, really like it. I used to love the combo Jesse Kirk. Now I'm not so sure. I was going to say that Jesse Alexander would be a good combo but then I saw that you already have Jesse Alexander in your sig. ;)

I love it. It's one of my favorite masculine names.

I like it a lot. I'm not crazy about Jessie as a nickname for Jessica because the sound is masculine to me. I think that Jesse is a handsome and very masculine name.

I like it on a man. I've seen it spelled this way on a female before and I'm not too fond of that.

I quite like it. I wouldn't mind if it was a little less popular though...
