Any difference between ...

[Starlingo]

Jacob and Edward. These are the only two names we can agree on. I don't think either is madly controversial. Sooo, is there anything in it? Is one better than the other in your opinion? p.s. tis only coincidence that these are twilights.
Oh and if neither is to your liking, please give your top alternative... thank you!
I wldn't mind something a bit quirky or interesting.
(SO if we do go for J or E then it's the nickname potential that is pretty good.)

what about Marmaduke? :p

No, obv. not; but as I wrote, there is quirky n.n. potential :)
(and, bonus, on a regular and not weird name, like I had/have)
Have to say I hated having an Aurelia type name as a child.

I love Aurelia -what is there to hate about ?

when people pron it areola, rach.
How simpler to have a name like Rachel.

Areola? Why can't people read?

Jago is a lovely name of its own -- a Cornish version of Diego (= James/Hamish/Jacob/Seamus).

Edward for sure. I love love love Edward.

(although Jacob is also nice, I just don't think it is as classically lovely as Edward)

What about another Ed name, Edmund, Edgar, Edwin? An unusual name becomes much easier to carry if you can use a normal nn (in this case Ed/Eddie), and all of these are much more mainstream than Aurelia (ie no problems with spelling or pronunciation).

Or as mathanxiety says use Jago.

Jacob and Edward are nice names, but there really are likely to be a lot of them, and the association with Twilight is very strong.

Jago is a great name!

Edward is more classic.
Can't go wrong with it.
Jacob has been a more recent trend in the popularity stakes, IMO, and is more likely to date. Also 'Jake' is one of the Tweenies. (Are they still on?)
