I love it, as a nickname for Jacob or just on its own. I knew a girl who's full name was Jake. It's a very unique, good name.NOISYNORA♠ Poof! It's magic!-Amy Sedaris ♣https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/214161

Oof. Jake on a girl.I feel like only some people call pull off certain names, I never heard Jake on a girl. I heard Mason or Asher though.

Jake on a girl seems like it should be short for Jacqueline or Jacintha or something.

As a nickname its alright. Prefer Jackie, but I can see a tomboy Jacqueline deciding she wants to be called Jake or Jack I'm not keen on it myself though, even as a nickname. Jackie is about as far as I'd go... but I'm not overly fond of them as names anyway so

I agree. I really dislike it as a full name anyone, but it works as a nickname quite well.

Whaaat? Jake on a girl actually made me recoil. That's awful, in my opinion.

Why does almost everyone agree that Jake on a girl is weird, but a lot of people like Blake on a girl? If anything I'd say the "Bl" is more masculine than the "J".

"but a lot of people like Blake on a girl?"I suspect that the people who dislike Jake on a girl would also dislike Blake. Personally, I'm not very fond of Blake in general. Bl- seems Scottish to me. I know that Blake is English, but, in general, bl- gives me Scottish vibes.

She was very tomboyish, it actually suited her very well.
