To sign the name Jesse, you will fingerspell each letter: J-E-S-S-E. Start by extending your pinky finger and tracing a 'J' shape in the air. Next, form an 'E' by curling your top fingers down to rest near your thumb. Then, make an 'S' by forming a fist with your thumb wrapped across the front of your fingers, and slide your hand slightly outward to show the double 'S'. Finish by signing 'E' one more time.
Sign 'MY', then 'FRIEND', followed by 'NAME', and finally fingerspell J-E-S-S-E smoothly.
Fingerspell J-E-S-S-E, then sign 'COME' and 'PARTY'. Make sure to raise your eyebrows at the end to indicate a yes/no question.
Start by signing 'YESTERDAY', then point to yourself for 'I', sign 'MEET', and finish by fingerspelling J-E-S-S-E.

If Jesse doesn't have a specific name sign given by a Deaf person, you will fingerspell his name the first time you mention him. After that, you can set up a space for him in your signing area and simply point to that space to refer back to him.
To show double letters in fingerspelling, you form the letter 'S' and then slide your hand slightly outward (to the right if you are right-handed) to indicate that the letter appears twice.
No, you shouldn't mouth the individual letters (J-E-S-S-E). Instead, if you mouth anything, you should naturally mouth the full spoken name 'Jesse' as you fingerspell it.
