I like Jesse for a boy, infact I was going to name this baby Jesse James, but my first son is named after my husband and my name is Jessica, so it was too much.I like Jarrett and Keegan for boy names.Although I hope I get to use my girl names this time.Good Luck!

Jessica

My picks off your list would be Savannah and Elijah...they go very nicely together too as sibling names...

I don't care for Jesse James together since it is a famous name...

I like Savannah. I would probably go with Savannah Grace or Savannah Gracelyn. Verity is just not my cup of tea. Elijah Christian is adorable. Jesse James is tempting, but I'd not do it. While it sounds cute together, he will get the comments forever about the outlaw.........especially if he has a brother with such a strong biblical name..........I can hear it now (Oh, you're the good guy and you're the bad guy).........Jesse Mark is cute.

Savanna Grace-lynn: I like the sound of Savanna Grace-lynn...but what about Savanna Gracelyn? IMO that looks more fluid. Nice name though. :)

Verity Elizabeth: I don't care for Verity, but I like Elizabeth a lot.

Elijah Christian: I like the sound and flow of this name. Elijah is a GREAT name, and I love the nn Eli. (I am planning on naming one of my sons Eli. :) However, the combo together is way too religious for me. Then again, if that is important to you...I think it is a great combo.

Jesse James - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name James...I can't stand Jesse on a boy or girl. Sorry.

Good luck!

I like Savannah Gracelyn. I wouldn't use the hyphen.

I like Elijah Christian.

I like the sound of Verity Elizabeth. I think I'd like the name Verity a little more if I had heard it before, but it has a nice ring to it.

As for Jesse, I wouldn't consider it too girly; Jesse in the Bible was a man. I wouldn't pair it with James, though. It's too bad there is a famous outlaw with that name; otherwise I would really like that combination!

I like all your name choices. I personally think of Jesse as a very masculine name. Not at all girly. I have to say that Jessie is one of my favorite girl names. But I don't know - they are just different to me. Jesse for a boy is just masculine and solid sounding. I really like it.

You know something I was sitting here and having my self a good little think and I think that Savanna Grace is much prettier. Jesse James is kind of cool and I don't even think about the guy behind the name. Now if you were to use something like Jeffrey Dahmer that would indeed raise a few voices and or eyebrows. Jesse James has been dead and gone for hundreds of years and the chance of your wee bundle being possessed by his spirit is nect to nil.

have a good and kind day.
