Inspired by the truly phenomenal answers I received to my [name_f]Anna[/name_f] thread, I decided to do another for my boys’ name crush of the moment - [name_m]Jacob[/name_m].
It’s very widely used where I am (UK), and I’ve always been aware of it, but it’s only recently I’ve realised how many boxes it hits: familiar biblical classic, the same ‘Jay’ sound as my beloved [name_u]James[/name_u], and (to my ears) a gorgeous simple rustic sound (I also went to school with a sweetheart of a [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] so it’s one of those names I feel affectionate towards. [name_f]My[/name_f] only hesitation is shudders Twilight).
So if you had to name a son [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], what would you go with? I’m completely unsure: my current thought is [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m], but maybe it compromises the strong simplicity of [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]?
I’m so excited to see what you come up with!
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Lloyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
I like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m]!
I think I’d consider:
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] or [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Leon[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
I love [name_m]Evander[/name_m]!
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] would probably be my choice too or I’d go with [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] or [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u]
I really like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] (but I prefer the spelling Jakob).
I’d consider:
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Adler[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Storm[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Orchard[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] Tzafrir
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Nikita[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Yair[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Mordechai[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Shaul[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Zalman[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Levi[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Charles[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Scott[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Oberon[/name_u].
If it was my son if would be [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Leslie[/name_u], but my son would always be [name_u]Leslie[/name_u] as a middle name so that’s not much help.
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]

[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] Finn/Finley
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
Also [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] together are cute!

[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Elijah[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] is such a cosy name to me, the second syllable reminds me of ‘cub’ 
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Leander[/name_u]
…that may or may not be a huge reason why I like it!
Gosh I absolutely love [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] 
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] is fabulous! I have [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] on my list. Maybe [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Finley[/name_u] could appeal to you.
