Baby name battle: Jacob vs. Caleb

10 thoughts on “Baby name battle: Jacob vs. Caleb”

1. Jacob. I just really do not like the name Caleb at all.

2. I prefer Jacob, but I’d have to use Caleb to avoid the Twilight association. Plus, I highly dislike Jake [if I did have a Jacob, I’d call him something like Coby or Akiva or Jamie].

3. Jacob is a family name so I’ll pick it, although my friends have a Jake and my nephew is named Jackson. I really dislike the nickname Cale, so Caleb is out.

4. I love both. Jacob works slightly better with our last name.

5. I love the nickname Jake. It’s my husband’s pseudonym on my blog.

6. Just named my baby Jacob it was a toss between caleb floyd or jack

7. I don’t like either but I vote for Caleb, simply because Jacob is really boring these days and so overused.

8. Well, My Son is Caleb Jacob :) best of both worlds LOL

9. Caleb, Jacob can easily be shortened to Jake which is WAAAYYY too common. Whenever I see a character named Jake I sigh on the inside. It’s one of those names that sounds like you didn’t put any effort into.

10. The Jacob that I always think of whenever I hear the name was the most obnoxious child you could imagine. I’ve disliked the name ever since.

    The only Caleb I’ve met was a rather pleasant dog. Caleb wins.
