Both very overused imo. Don't like Jake at all.

iskra · 09/08/2011 10:11

Jamie.

bigbluebump · 09/08/2011 10:10

I don't really like either, sorry. But James if I had to choose.

Funtimewincies · 08/08/2011 18:15

I like Jacob, but please not Jake. And women who whine 'Jakeeeeeeeeeeeeeey...don't do thaaaaaaaaaaat' at their child make my teeth itch Hmm.

Actually, just go for James. It's a classic Grin.

Jacob

CLS101 · 08/08/2011 15:36

James nn Jamie :)

MorallyBankrupt · 08/08/2011 15:08

I would say James, but not if shortened to Jamie, which I passionately dislike.

Jacob over Jamie for sure.

petitdonkey · 07/08/2011 13:02

James but shortened to Jimmy which, IMHO, is way cuter and less popular than Jamie.

cookielove · 07/08/2011 13:02

I prefer Jacob

I have looked after 8 or so James/Jamies

and 2 Jacobs

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 07/08/2011 13:01

James

CharlieBoo · 07/08/2011 12:59

James all the way

SandyChick · 07/08/2011 12:11

I have a Jacob James Smile

MummyCubed · 05/08/2011 22:50

Sorry but with Jacob I automatically think Zuma. I second the "James by a mile" statement.

IssyStark · 05/08/2011 22:35

I have always loved Jamie as a nn, so a vote for James from me.

Popbiscuit · 05/08/2011 18:10

Definitely James. Cannot go wrong with that.

pilates · 05/08/2011 18:08

James

KittyDeTour · 05/08/2011 17:10

James definately. There are loads more Jacobs out there at the mo!

evamummy · 05/08/2011 15:22

Both very very popular already.

Leanbh2011 · 05/08/2011 15:21

Jacob for me!

ilovesprouts · 04/08/2011 16:19

both popular

IssyStark · 04/08/2011 16:13

I've always loved Jamie as a name (but failed to convince DH last weekend) so James would get my vote Smile

mathanxiety · 04/08/2011 16:06

James.

They are both the same name

chaya5738 · 04/08/2011 13:22

I much prefer Jacob but it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too popular at the moment.

harassedandherbug · 04/08/2011 12:59

I have a James, so that's my favourite. He was to be nn'd Jamie, which worked at first but James crept in and when he started school I told him he'd have to choose and he chose James.

He's 22 now and is def a James and not a Jamie..

Cattleprod · 04/08/2011 12:24

Jacob or Jamie. Hate the name James (sorry, I know it's irrational, it's the fault of that blonde woman who presents House in the Country)
