Which do you prefer?

Jason James or Jesse James

James being the middle name.

Jason James. Jesse James just reminds me of the outlaw and Pokemon.

Jesse James just reminds me of the outlaw and Pokemon.

Clearly these are reasons to USE the name, not avoid it! ;D

[fangirlism]

lol :P Nah, those are my reasons to avoid it lol.

Jason James.

Only because Jesse James was the name of someone I went to high school with who was killed in a car accident.

Jesse James.

Bwahaha.

Jesse James rolls off the tongue easier, but I don't know if it'd sound good after about thousandth low-brow joke whenever it was said. Especially to the boy.

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.

[uppity-heathen.livejournal.com]

not so much into the outlaw name. James is okay but I am not a fan of Jason either.

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Jesse James is so...white trash to me.

Jesse James rolls off the tongue, but it strongly reminds me of Pokemon. (You could always have a cat and name him Meowth, I guess. XDDD)

Jesse!
James!
Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Meowth! That's right!

Um, yeah, go with Jason James. =P

Yeah, I immediately think of the outlaw when I hear Jesse James....

I don't really like the name Jesse at all, but I love Jason.

Soooo, Jason James it is, even though I'm not a huge fan of the illiterating J's in either name.

[blue-suspenders.livejournal.com]

Jesse James.
I much prefer the name Jesse.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I love Jesse and I hate Jason, but Jesse James is just too much. If it was a different middle name, Jesse would win, hands down, no contest.

[emtotherescuee.livejournal.com]

Jesse, I can't imagine an old person named Jason:\

[sophie-louise89.livejournal.com]

I have a brother names Jason James and a friend named the same. I think Jesse James is just so common and I think Jason James sounds better.
Either way they could easily get the nickname Jayjay, so I hope you're okay with that :)

TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAIIIIIIN!

I think that Jason and Jesse both sound a little trashy, to be honest, but I guess that I'd have to pick Jesse James.

[booski-82.livejournal.com]

Jesse James just doesnt do it for me...it sounds silly imo. I know someone with that name and it just seems weird for a grown man to go by "Jesse James".

Why not try something instead of J and J...

[booski-82.livejournal.com]

I agree...I think it sounds southern trashy...

*not to sound like a bitch*

;-)

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

Definitely Jason. Bigtime.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

neither =/
jason & james are too similar to one another. the whole jay beginning..
and jesse james is, well, jesse james.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Jason is my favorite boys' name.
