Wow. Going to rock the boat here and say Jacob. Love it and would use it if ever we had DS4! (Never will)

James. Classic and as someone else said, timeless.

Jacob makes me think immediately of religious connotations and Joel makes me think of 'Piano Man'!

James. As already mentioned, Jacob is the Latin version of James so you get two for the price of one :) Jacob v popular atm so it will date, whereas James won't.

Don't like Joel v much.

Joel or James. Don't like Jacob and it's been done to death round here - seems like every other baby boy is Jacob/Jake.
