Whatever you choose (and they're both good, solid names) I'd have him registered as either Jacob or William. You can then shorten it how you please but when he grows up, he can choose what suits him and maybe use the nickname with friends and the full name in his work. I read somewhere that helps with emplyment or something - more likely to be taken seriously or somehing.

Jake. I like alliteration.

Will Jordan sounds incomplete to my ear.

They're both very normal pleasant names. There's not a lot between them.

Will, because I am not keen on the alliteration.
