To all you people who are saying it is wrong to assume Jesse is a boys name or that you believe it should be used for both masculine and feminine, suck it up. All my freaking life I've dealt with people saying my name is a girls' name and calling me Jessica, and I have had it. I empathize with you girls whose names are Jesse, but believe me, far more people assume it is a girls' name than a boys'. I have even received emails from people in the military who think I am a girl, despite my profile saying what my gender is. I have had enough of it. To parents who want to name their daughters Jesse, please change the spelling to Jessi, or Jessie, or whatever other variation there is.

There's a girl in my French class who's name is Jesse. And she does spell it Jesse and not Jessie.

The way Jesse is spelled it shouldn't just be a guys name. My name is Jesse and I'm a girl. People who think it's a guy's name are wrong. So it should be changed to both masculine & feminine.

I agree that this name should be listed as masculine and feminine. There are at least two girls at my school that spell it this way.

Jesse is also a Finnish male name, but the pronunciation is YES-se ("e" like in end).
