I love Jacob
written by Calise, January 18, 2008
Jacob has been a family name for some time now - I love it! Every child should have a strong name that means something and has been given out of love!
PS Acacia is beautiful for a girl!

My first born, now almost 12, is Jacob. It is a very strong name, indicating a leader (in my opinion). If you are looking for an alternate that sounds similar but isn't as popular, we're considering Caleb for our next son.

We also have a Benjamin and a Nathan.

Jacob is a beautiful name, as is Acacia.
Jacob is a character in the book God Shaped Hole.
Wonderful book, and Jacob is an excellent name for any boy, and for Debartolo's charactor as well.

I think Jacob is a strong, name of good character. My grandfather just recently passed away and he was a Jacob. My sister named her youngest Nicholas Jacob and if my husband and I have a son, he will be Colton Jacob. It is just too popular as a first name! (I also have a cousin named Jacob Elijah. It is a very unique name, how ironic to have one listed here!)
I like Jacob
