Genealogy / Polish equivalent of "Jessie"? [48]

My dad's name is Zdzisław and I've never heard neither him nor any relatives and friends in Poland use Jesse as a nickname for Zdzislaw, that sounds really weird and wrong in my ears. Same goes for Jessie as a nickname for Zdzisława. But I'm not American so I can't say anything about how Americans use these nicknames. Jessie as an American nickname for Czesława sounds right in my ears though. Seems like this is op's conclusion as well!

@jon357.

I struggle with it myself and it's his first name😅 My dad goes by Zdzisław, Zdzisiek or Zdisio both here in my birthcountry and in Poland.
