Jakob

Nice name. However, the association with the disease kinda ruined it..

The K makes it look really sloppy.

I like Jacob better. Jakob looks surreal.

Both spellings are beautiful. Jacob has a more timeless and meaningful mark while Jakob is not kre8tv but modern and looks really handsome with a K.

The K spelling just makes it look cooler.

I really love this name. Every guy I know with the spelling with a K has the kindest heart and are very handsome.

This spelling of Jacob is only girly because of the k, but it’s a traditional male name so I prefer both spellings on a boy. I like Jacobine for a girl. Hypothetically, if I named a girl Jacob or Jakob, I would give her a more feminine middle name. I prefer the spelling Jacob, but Jakob is still an okay spelling.

Jakob is an awesome name, some people just need to LOVE IT, NOT HATE IT.

Well maybe if people spelled it right then there would be more Jakobs.

It appears childish and "kre8tiv" in spelling. Beware.

This isn’t a “kre8tyv” spelling, it’s the same name in a different language and not a kre8tyv spelling. Spelling the name Jaycob or Jeighkyb or whatever would be a kre8tyv spelling since it isn’t the same name in another language, unlike Jakob.

Like Jacob, I adore this name. Where Jacob is very old (yet still timeless, I believe), Jakob is a more modern twist; especially in the English-speaking world. I think this spelling should be wider used.

I do NOT like this as a girls' name. Take the surnames, but leave the classic male names alone. Would that the boys could borrow girl names as easily.

I think this is a cute girl name.

I personally prefer this spelling to Jacob very much, although it seems more ethnic, like you'd have to pronounce it the German way or something.

I named my second son Jakob, it's a very masculine name, and spelled with the k it puts a new modern spin on it. Also Billy Joe Armstrong's (lead singer for Green Day) second son is named Jakob Danger, which we thought was pretty cool.

I prefer the spelling Jacob.

This is a great name! I know a very cute boy named Jakob, pronounced Ya-kob.

Jakob captures the heart of Jacob, but with this (legitimate) spelling it goes beyond the ordinary & gives an old classic a new start.
