Jacob Honest Opinions please

[MartiniGirl]

Hi all, i am new here...

Please can i have honest opinions on the name Jacob please

Do you like it?

LOVE IT!

Jacob sounds solid, yet sexy to me! And Jake is a cute abbreviation.

He is my son, so yes!

That's my sons name. Love it, love it, love it.

I really like the name Jacob. The only thing that might put me off is the fact that I am not keen on Jake if it is shortnened.

Great name, timeless yet still funky. Popular but not too common.

It's a lovely name.

My nephew is called Jacob - never shortened to Jake.

But I like Jake too.

I have a Jacob too so obviously I love it.

We wouldn't have chosen it if we didn't like Jake too (although he is Jakie most of the time).

Imo Jacobs are a little bit cheeky but popular and high achievers.

No pressure on the poor boy then

Great name. Solid, masculine but not too harsh sounding, well-known but not overused. And translates pretty well into quite a few languages.

Fabulous - Thats JUST what i wanted to hear!

Lovely name.

Love it!!

Very nice.

Think its a great name. I have a friend whos sons called Jacob and it is a really nice name to call a little boy, and will still sound great when hes a man.

My nephew is Jacob otherwise my son would have been

like jacob but not jake / Jakie

Love the name, and like Jake too

jacob biscuits spring to mind sorry. dh likes jake but i thought of jake the peg with one leg. on a positive note it's not very popular and easy to spell!!

there are a couple of Jacobs near me, all nice kids, all Jewish.

I personally don't like the name, think it's a bit dull. But each to their own, doesn't mean the child will be.

Love it.

I like it too.

nice name.
Mrs ThierryHenry - oyour husband is lush!

Love it, and Jake, was on my list if I had a boy, though DH not keen.

Bit biblical for me but I think a lovely name. Also think you must prepare yourself for Jake tho as it is inevitable

i love jacob.

nice name but isn't it somewhat overused at the minute? We had 2 of them in our class of 9 at babyswimming...
