I love
Jesse as a full name (although it is a little nny) for a boy or a nn for a girl. I dont know which I prefer, but probably for a boy because I really dont care for any of the possible full names for a girl.
I think
Jesse works fine as a boys name, and it surely isnt lost. If you are worried him having a "girls" name,
Jesse isnt nearly as common as
Madison,
Taylor or anything in that category, and (from what I've seen) its always a nn on a girl.
ETA: popularity charts prove its still recognized as a boys name
