Jesse James is sort of a hick name in my mind. My family got stationed in Missouri and I've met five kids named Jesse James around here. I assume it's because the Outlaw was supposed to have hidden in the caves or something in the area.

Either way, it's not a good connotation. Didn't you ever see the Brady Bunch episode where Bobby was obsessed with Jesse James and they had an actor play Jesse James's son and explain to Bobby how his father was a murderer and was not a man to be revered?

I like Jason James, though. Jason isn't nearly as popular as it once was and I've always thought it was a good name.
