Jacob :)

Jacob is more unusual and I actually prefer it, but would prob get shortened to Jake. If you like Jake then go for it.

I vote for James.

James

The "cob" part of Jacob reminds me of horses and bread rolls.

James but definitely not Jamie

Mollydoggerson · 03/08/2011 21:51

James by a mile.

manicinsomniac · 03/08/2011 22:02

Like both but prefer Jacob. I quite like Jake too.

rachel234 · 03/08/2011 22:05

Jacob but I dislike Jake. James always sounds like the plural of Jame to me (sorry, not helpful, I know Smile).

Rhubarbgarden · 03/08/2011 22:13

James.

James, love jamesSmile

Jacob or Jamie. Hate the name James (sorry, I know it's irrational, it's the fault of that blonde woman who presents House in the Country)

I have a James, so that's my favourite. He was to be nn'd Jamie, which worked at first but James crept in and when he started school I told him he'd have to choose and he chose James.

He's 22 now and is def a James and not a Jamie..
