I really like the name Jacoba, I think it's lovely. It's a good combination of feminine yet not too “frilly”, as I can easily picture Jacoba as a girly-girl, tomboy, or somewhere in between. I would pronounce it as “Juh-co-buh”. Also, I really like the name's cute nickname potentials, Jackie, Coba and Cobie. Lastly, I really appreciate its association with the beautiful Canadian-American actress, Jacoba “Cobie” Smulders, who played Robin Scherbatsky Jr. In “How I Met Your Mother”. Overall, I think Jacoba is a wonderful name.
I like this with both the English and Dutch pronunciations. As an American I lean slightly towards "ju-KOH-buh" but "ya-KOH-buh" is nice too. This name leaves me with the impression of a pretty young girl.
