Jacob
written by Heather, June 01, 2008
My second son's name is Jacob anthony, we wanted something from the bible so it was a toss up between Jacob or Caleb and when he was born he looked more like a Jacob then a Caleb, i like it because there are so many nik names for it...he gets called the usual names like Jacob,Jake,Jakie, but he also gets cool ones like..Jake the snake..our last name starts with a W...so his initials are JAW...so someone came up with the name Jaws...i think that was neat

Great that you mention that as a nickname. We knew that we wanted to name our son Jacob. It is strong name and, as it turned out, perfect for our son. Because our last name begins with "W" we wanted to be careful what his initials would spell. We went with a middle name that begins with "A", because my husband thought that "JAWS" was a great nickname. Some people think we're crazy for picking his name based on a nickname, but it works for all of us.

Lately I have had this affinity with the name Jacob. My ears would burn and my heart would race whenever I heard that name. Then I did a facebook quiz lately on baby names. The quiz results were astonishing. They said that the name Jacob is suited for one of my boys. Now I'm solid in my belief that my first born boy will be named Jacob. Jacob Isaac. I also love the story of Jacob in the Bible and his love for Rachel.
