Personal experiences with the name Jesse

My boyfriend's name is Jesse (I call him Jess). I think Jesse is a great name, but he doesn't like it. He's constantly getting asked "What is it short for?" and "Isn't that a girl's name?" My three-year-old nephew calls him 'Dessy'.

My 2 year old son is named Jesse (after Jesse Mcartney) he also has brothers named Carter & Aaran after aaron carter lol

My son's daddy's name is Jesse. Not the same Jesse as the above ones. He has a great heart. Some bad habits that effect how he acts in a negative way, yet I keep praying for him. He's so intelligent,talented, funny too.
