Just mulling this one over...

I like Jacob but not so sure about Jake which I guess is the inevitable nn - would appreciate any opinions on the name & nn.

Also, I know it is v popular in the States but seems to be less so over here? Do you know many Jacobs?

my dss has a Jacob in his class(age 9) and he has never been called Jake. Think its a lovely name.

I don't like many names but I like Jacob. I know one and he is a Jacob not a jake. He's never been a jake as far as I know and is gone two. I suppose the nickname could come up at school age though. I do think jake is nice too though.
