But what is the general feeling on the name Jaco ?

potentially…

Having said that, I adore Sebastian

Written down I'd assume a missing b and spoken I'd think a nickname for Jack, which it may end up shortened to. But it's not bad, maybe give your mate the heads up tho in case he thinks it's actually after him personally

What an awful name.

It seems like a typo. Jaco for Jacob...

Pronounced Jacko
our friend is South African so I guess it is more known there! Everyone seems to like his name and once know it it seems to work….

If I saw this typed out I would assume that there was a typo and the B had been missed off.

How is it pronounced? Jack-o? Jake-o?

Jaco Pastorius, legendary American bass player.

I have a sneaky feeling that my bass playing son will one day name his first son this! Love it!
