An interesting and fancy name due to the name being not as widely used (at least in some places). Th meaning behind the name is also somewhat interesting.

It's a solid name, but paired with my last name it doesn't seem to flow well.

I like it. Very nice biblical name.

Maybe I'll have a boy some day and name him this. Jake for short, like my boy Jake Plummer, yeah...

I tend to want to stay away from really common names, but I always liked this one. I'm more likely to use it as a nice middle name, but it's definitely a nice choice for first names too.

Jacob is one of my favorite boy names. I think this is a cute name.

An extremely popular name where I live, especially among the large Mennonite community. Has a nice formal sound and catchy shortened handle, Jake. My wife's grandfather was Jake and if we had a second boy, it would have been his name.

This name essentially means supplanter or 'holds the heal.' Jacob in the Bible was also known as a trickster and someone who would of been very good in the business world! Later his name was changed to Israel. Me personally, I have never met anyone with that name but I suppose the only reason that I have any fondness for it is because Jacob was a famous patriarch. This name essentially means the barer will be cunning and may use a bit of manipulation to get his own way.

The kid would immediately dump the Jacob and go by "Jake." That would be ok.

And the obsession with the letter J rages on. Makes me think of ladders.

Jacob is a cool name. It fits a lot of guys. I think it's my second favorite guy name. When I have kids, I'd like to name my first son Nicholas Jacob Ethan. I'm not sure about Ethan for sure but I know I like Nicholas and Jacob.
