It's a lovely name.

My nephew is called Jacob - never shortened to Jake.

But I like Jake too.

Great name, timeless yet still funky. Popular but not too common.

I really like the name Jacob. The only thing that might put me off is the fact that I am not keen on Jake if it is shortnened.

That's my sons name. Love it, love it, love it.

He is my son, so yes!

LOVE IT!

Jacob sounds solid, yet sexy to me! And Jake is a cute abbreviation.
