Do you know any Jacobs?

[WillowTheWitch]

It's on our shortlist but DH thinks it will become really popular because of twilight and as a twi-hater that has really put me off !!

Just wondering if it really is popular . I don't know any personally , but know of one born in 2010 .

Nope, don't know any. Lovely name

I know a couple personally and there are a few at DCs' school, it's quite popular round here. Didn't know it was anything to do with twilight!

Yes, I know a toddler and a 17yo.

In know one who's 9, can't think of any others though, apart from in the Jewish Community where I work - there are loads.

Yes, I know 3, aged 3, 4 and 7.

Yes I know one who is three and a Jaikob who is 9.

I know about 3 4 years old Jacobs. Old testament names are generally v popular (well not ones likes Mordecai!)

It wouldn't become popular if everyone knew the only Jacob I know. Holy terror aged 7!.

Are any of you west of Scotland ?

@marge

Yeah one - about 2.1 yrs.

Yes, I know 2 6yo Jacobs.

yes - 2, lovely name

I know one and my ds ( james) gets called Jakob (yakob) by locals when we visit my parents

I think it's one of those names that seems common (as in popular) but there are never actually that many about

Quite a few actually, assorted ages, 12 ish, 6, 3,3,2,1.

Two - one lives next door to me and one lives next door to DM. Aged 2 and 3 I think.

Only one age 6.

Just 1, aged 2

I know 4 - aged 7,6,6 and 5. Nice name though.

I only know one, but there are lots of Jakes and Jacks and I get them all mixed up!

Yes lots under five very popular

My Jacob is 10 months.

I only know one and he's at senior school now.

My Jacob is 17 now.

I know 2 under the age of 5.
