HelpJake
What’s yours opinion on the name Jake?
Imo, the name isn’t bad, just way too associated with Jake Paul. (If you even know who he is.)

Rate my personal name list please :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/217493

Jake is okay. From 1999 - 2012, Jacob was the #1 most popular boy name in the USA, so it seems super common as a nickname for that age group and even before. If I associate it with any one person, it is probably the Biblical Jacob who was rather manipulative, but the name is so common it has scores of namesakes.

I don't know who Jake Paul is. I just googled it, but as soon as I saw "YouTuber" I snorted. Nobody will know who that is in 5 years, even if they know now. These internet-famous people are as fleeting as hiccups. (Thank god.)
To me, Jake is about as ordinary as it gets. Jacob was the #1 name for boys in the U.S. from 1999-2012, and in the top 10 from 1993-2017, so Jake is ubiquitous where I live. It may as well be a synonym for "teenage boy." I like long A sounds, so I think it sounds nice, but it doesn't stand out at all because it's so common.

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.

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