Jakub or Kuba?

[Snow0]

Thanks

I didn't know it was a thing- the French teacher at my local school has a son whose name is Jakub and he gets called Kuba. Cute . Therefore I feel that Jakub is a real name and Kuba is a nn.

Kuba as in Cuba? Like the country?

Jakub, but unless there is a reason for the Jakub spelling, you'd be better off spelling it Jacob as that's how everyone will assume its spelt.

Kuba as in the known Polish (and other languages) NN

I thought it might be easier than Jakub.

[DramaAlpaca]

The one I know is Jakub nn Kuba.

[SuperBeagle]

But is it pronounced like Cuba?

I'm just thinking... from my perspective, Cuba and Jacob/Jakub don't have the same sound. But perhaps my pronunciation of Kuba is wrong?

[DramaAlpaca]

It's pronounced Coo-ba, so different to Cuba.

[Mrsknackered]

I'd do Jakub nn Kuba. Love it!

[deptfordgirl]

Can't you use Jakub with Kuba as the nn? I live in a multicultural area and Kuba and Kubko are quite well known around here as nns for Jakub. Jakub/Jacob is lovely.

Jakub, with the nn Kuba

The Polish name Jakub is pronounced 'Yakub' so will you be pronouncing it this way?

We have a Jakub at my school, everyone just calls him Jacob.
I think the longer version is a much better optionOP.
