Hello, please let me know which name you prefer. As Jacob is very popular right now I think I'd like to call him Coby as a nn. Cal will be his nickname if he's Caleb as his brother's name is pretty close in sound. Thanks

The only thing is that his brother's name is Kaiden and he is only 14 months older. I fear that Caleb and Kaiden sound too alike?

I also like Rio?

I prefer Caleb to Jacob.

Jacob, with Jake as nickname (don't like Coby)

Don't like Caleb. Do like Jacob but really dislike Coby, sorry.

Not sure about Cal for Caleb. It works from a spelling pov but not from the pov of the sound of the name.

Would you consider Jacoby instead of Jacob? A bit more unusual.

Both lovely.

Absolutely love Caleb,especially shortened to Cal. It always reminds me of the wondrous James Dean's character in "East of Eden". [busmile]
