Re: Names We Love... and the Nicknames We Hate!!
in reply to a message by Aine
I know a few Jacobs that just go by Jacob. It's actually really weird to think of calling them Jake x_x doesn't fit them at all. Jacob isn't even that long so I don't think people will go out of their way to make it Jake.

Every Jacob I know gets shortened to Jake. I know there are exceptions out there but to be honest, you wanting them to be that exception can only go so far. I don't think I could deal with it if my Jacob *chose* to go by Jake. I would rather to avoid that possibility and not call him Jacob at all which is sad :-(
