Pronunciation is so important with names, my little girl is IsObel drives me to distraction when people call her IsAbel, ypu think you'll only have to correct people once but it isn't it is constant.

Like it. It's OBVIOUSLY jah ko bee.

Ignore the haterz.

I'd think Derek Jacobi too.

How about Giacomo (pronounced Jack-a-mo) - is it similar enough?

In a funny sort of way i llike it. Like Derek Jacobi? But no-one would ever pronounce it correctly, like cockyfox said- it'd drive you potty eventually

No, I think it's silly. Sorry.

Too difficult

thistlelicker · 06/04/2013 21:54

No

Flossiechops · 06/04/2013 21:53

No don't like it at all - sorry

CockyFox · 06/04/2013 21:52
