Noah. Jacob (Jake) is common.

Neither. Both way too popular at the moment.

But, if you must, then Jacob as it is more classic. Noah very trendy at the moment.

oth solid names but I like Noah personally....it's not really trendy nor is it unusual where I am from.

Jacob. I love the J names but DH vetoed all of them.

I prefer Noah, where I live (NW England) Jacob is very, very popular.

Jacob.

Somebody on here once said Noah sounds like someone farting down a drainpipe, and I really can't put it better than that.
