You have all been so helpful in the past!

I hope this will be my last question to you...

Which middle name flows nicely with Jacob? They're all names of loved ones who all mean a lot to us and they each would be so pleased to be honoured in this way....which makes it hard to choose!

Jacob David
Jacob James
Jacob Louis
Jacob Doug

Could it be Jacob Douglas?

Sunnydayshereatlast · 22/06/2020 19:14

Not keen on Jacob Doug - if it's a family name Douglas is better than' cub dug' !.
Jacob James may become JJ (I know a few!)
The others don't 'go' at all imo.

sunsetandcocktails · 22/06/2020 19:19

Oh yeah! Hadn't spotted 'Cub Doug' !!
Yes Douglas would be better wouldn't it.

Biased as I have a Jacob David.

violetscone · 22/06/2020 19:26

Jacob Louis flows best to me.

Noflora · 22/06/2020 19:29

As with violetscone, Jacob Louis is the only one that flows imo. But I'm not sure that matters, and the surname will affect the flow too.

userabcname · 22/06/2020 19:31

I like the sound of Jacob James.

SomethingAboutNothing · 22/06/2020 19:32

I like Jacob Louis and think it flows nicely

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/06/2020 19:33

Jacob James - JJ?

Though equally Jacob David would give JD...

daisypond · 22/06/2020 19:46

You can’t have Jacob James. They’re the same name! Just anglicised through different languages- Hebrew and Greek, I think. It’s why we refer to the era of James I as the Jacobean Age.

MaverickDanger · 22/06/2020 19:47

I know a Jacob Louis, we nickname him JLo.

Sunnydayshereatlast · 22/06/2020 20:00

Jacob Zachery.

MrsGilly1 · 22/06/2020 20:26

I suggest Jacob Thomas X

resm · 22/06/2020 20:30

Think Jacob David goes the best, or Jacob Douglas too actually. Beautiful name!

finallychangedmyusername · 22/06/2020 20:51

Jacob is such a great name. Smile

Jacob Daniel
Jacob Thomas
Jacob Oliver
Jacob Matthew
Jacob Benjamin
Jacob Dominic
Jacob Samuel
Jacob Alexander
Jacob Nathaniel
Jacob Arthur
Jacob Lucas
Jacob Oscar

My personal favourites are Jacob Thomas, Jacob Alexander and Jacob Nathaniel.

Jacob Henry

That's the name I'd use for a ds

GrannyBags · 22/06/2020 20:53

I vote Jacob Matthew - I have a Matthew Jacob but for ages we couldn’t decide which way round to put them.

Jacob David

Jacob David

SnowdropFox · 22/06/2020 22:26

I was going to make the same comment as Daisy, James and Jacob are the same name so I'd avoid.

Of your other picks I prefer Louis and David. Louis edging it for me.

I was just going to post pretty much exactly this.

Jacob and James don't work together at all.

If Douglas was an option I'd choose Jacob Douglas, but David and Louis are both good too.

Sootybear · 22/06/2020 22:30

I've got a grown up Jacob Henry, so I'm totally biased.

sunsetandcocktails · 22/06/2020 22:36

That's hilarious, I had no idea about Jacob and James being so closely associated 🙈 ! Thank god I checked with you guys
