Boy name question...
So, DH and I had the TOUGHEST time agreeing on a boy name.
We finally agreed on the name Jake.
My question is... would you assume that the name Jake is short for Jacob?

Re: Boy name question...
Nope! 
Although, I did have a friend Jacob in HS, we called him Jake once in awhile- but mostly it was Jacob.

Re: Boy name question...
I wouldn't automatically associate them. I LOVE the name Jake, but we have a cat named Jake, so I can't use it

Re: Boy name question...
i wouldnt assume
my nephew is Jacob and NO ONE calls him that - EVER; only Jake
However, some kids are just named Jake and not short for Jacob

Re: Boy name question...
No - Jake is Jake.
Like, Jack, is now Jack - People rarely name their kid John to call him Jack, they just name him Jack - KWIM?

Re: Boy name question...
i am definitely in the minority - i would assume that jake is short for jakob, but i think that's because i love the name jakob (it was my second choice) and would use the nickname jake.

Re: Boy name question...

Re: Boy name question...
No I think Jake is great on it's own. I like it better than Jacob also.
