Jacob?

Came across the name Jacob this morning and found it quite appealing. Does anyone have any views on this name - too popular, too old-fashioned etc? Can anyone suggest any similar names?

What I like about it is that it is simple and has a solid sound, but is not too ordinary, if that makes sense.

I like it. It's a good old solid Biblical name, and Jake is a nice nickname.

Totally agree with squoosh lovely, traditional name, sounds nice, just v.v. popular

It's very popular, it must be in the current top ten boys names being used. It is a nice solid name, it sounds very trustworthy and it will age better than Alfie, Archie etc. so the only thing going against it is that there are lots of other little Jacobs around at the moment.

What about....

Noah
Saul
Jude
