If a Japanese person were to name a child 'Jessie' using Kanji, they would have to choose characters based on their sounds. For example, they might use '慈' (mercy) and '詩' (poetry) to approximate the sounds.
In Japanese pop culture, the name ジェシー is strongly associated with Jesse from the idol group SixTONES, who is known for his bilingual English and Japanese speaking style.
If you were to write the name in Hiragana as じぇしー, it would look much more 'childish' or 'soft' to a Japanese reader than the Katakana version used for foreign names.
