They're the same to me, but somehow Erin is prettier. Probably because it's the vag version.
.............. Vag version? Oh my.
Yeah, I'd had a drink last night when I wrote that.
Shaking my head right now, Billina.
They are totally distinct in my accent, also.
My name is actually Jessica "Jessi", but even so, I adore Jesse on a boy (not like I could ever use it, though). Jesse is a rugged, handsome, masculine name; Jessie is entirely unrelated. Sweet, pretty, and feminine without being frilly. Though they sound the same, they both give me completely different mindsets, as they are separate names. Jesse is very nice, and I wouldn't worry a bit about the similarity to Jessie.
I don't think the fact that there are girl Jessies makes it unusable. I really don't care for it though. It gives me a real redneck vibe.

I don't think that many girls go by Jessie. All the girls named Jessica that I've known have either gone by Jessica, or casually gone by Jess. I only know one female Jessie, and that's her full name.
Jesse is quite a handsome name for a boy, though not my style, imo. Looking at popularity data, it has never left the top 200, and 2013 is the first year it had left the top 150. Especially spelled Jesse, I doubt anyone would immediately assume he was a girl.

It's my brother's name.
So, I can easily see it on a male. In fact, it's more male than female to me.
I think it's a spunky sort of name, and I wish I heard it more often.

I don't think having Jessie on girls makes Jesse unusable.
I knew a boy named Jesus and he didn't like his name, so he went by Jesse. It worked well on him. He was quiet but nice, and the nn suited him better than his given name imo.
Jesse itself gives off a very laidback vibe to me, and I think it's a good name, all in all.

It's unusable for me because my name is Jessie =P But, having said that, I do like it on a boy. Some days I like it more than others. I think it's totally usable on a boy, I know tonnes of boys with this name =)
I think Jesse is perfectly usable on a boy. I've always quite liked it. It has a rugged edge, but isn't all cowboy.
Given it's still ranked mid-100s, no it isn't unusable, very usable in fact.
I like it, it's pleasant, handsome name.
I like it, but I never really hear it used here (UK).
I think Jesse is fine on a male. While reading the other comments, I even found some famous Jesse's.

It's never been my favorite name, especially for a man. Sounds a little too feminine with all the s's and the cutsy "ie" ending (even though it's just spelled with an e).
I think Jesse is totally usable on a boy. I really like it- it has a very friendly, boy-next-door type of feeling to me.
